Night Raiders

Night Raiders (2021) Could Have Been a Good Pilot (12,365 – 30 Mar 2026 – Claudio Carvalho) In 2043, after a civil war, North America is a dystopian society living under a military dictatorship that demands that any children be delivered to the government when he or she is four. Niska (Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers) and her eleven-year-old daughter Waseese (Brooklyn Letexier-Hart) have survived for six years living in the forest. But when Waseese steps on a beartrap, Niska heads to the derelict city to look for medicine since Waseese’s foot is infected. They go to the house of her old friend Roberta (Amanda Plummer), who suggests she deliver her daughter to the authorities to have medical care. The reluctant Niska leaves her daughter behind and informs the soldiers where she is. Ten months later, Niska lives in an apartment and is kidnapped by a group of Cree that believes she is the guardian and will lead the children to a sanctuary called Bigstone. Niska says that she may do the mission provided she goes also with her daughter. Now the Cree intend to bring Waseese from the academy. “Night Raiders” (2021) is a movie that could have been a good pilot. The story and details are too long for a feature and after a promising beginning, becomes confusing. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): “Invasores da Noite” (“Night Invaders”) My Blog: ****/
