The movie stars legendary Canadian actor Michael Ironside, along with Munro Chambers.

“I went and got a cup of tea and said, this really can’t be this good. And I read it again.”
It’s a Canada-New Zealand co-production.
The story deals with an orphaned teenager called “the Kid” who scavenges the wasteland searching for relics.
“It’s a low budget film,” said Ironside.
“It’s supposed to be after the apocalypse that happened in 1997. And it’s somewhere between a comic book and reality.”
