New UK trailer for 'Wildhood' about a traveling Aboriginal teenager

"She ran away…Why didn't she take me with her?" UK's Peccadillo Pictures has revealed a new official UK trailer for a film independent titled Wildhood from Canada, which has already been released on VOD in the United States. It opens in the UK in September and we've never released the trailer, so why not show it now - because it looks very good. This premiered at the 2021 Toronto Film Festival last year. Two brothers - Link and Travis - embark on a journey to find their birth mother after their abusive father lied for years about her whereabouts; along the way, they reconnect with their own native heritage and make a new friend. As a close bond begins to form between Link and Pasmay, Link learns to come to terms with his own complex heritage, identity, and sexuality. With Phillip Lewitski, Joshua Odjick, Michael Greyeyes, Steve Lund, Joel Thomas Hynes, Avery Winters-Anthony and Savonna Spracklin. Yeah, that sounds pretty impressive, a coming-of-age story that dives deep into identity and heritage and so much more. Enjoy.

Here is the official UK trailer (+ poster) for Wildhood by Bretten Hannam, direct from YouTube:

Escaping an abusive father along with his younger half-brother, rebellious Link (Philip Lewitski) flees his trailer park in search of his mother and a fresh start. Along the way, he meets Pasmay (Joshua Odjick), a two-spirited native teenager who joins them as they travel through Mi'kmaq territory in rural Nova Scotia. As a close bond begins to form with Pasmay, Link learns to come to terms with his own complex heritage, racial identity, and sexuality. Beautifully shot in beautiful Eastern Canada, Bretten Hannam's finely crafted film is a critically acclaimed and sensitively observed tale of first love and self-acceptance. Wildhood is both written and directed by Mi'kmaq/Canadian filmmaker Bretten Hannam, his second feature film after directing North Mountain previously, as well as numerous other shorts. This first premiered at the 2021 Toronto and Vancouver Film Festivals last year. The film was already released in the United States in June. Peccadillo will debut Wildhood in UK cinemas + on VOD from 2nd September 2022. Who's in?
