3 min | Canada | 2018 | USA PREMIERE | BEST EXPERIEMENTAL SHORT

Synopsis: Red on the outside, white on the inside! Wamin meaning apple in Atikamekw is used as an insult referring to people who leave their community to live in the city. Katherine Nequado is an Atikamekw woman from Manawan, a First Nations reserve on the south-western shores of Lake Métabeskéga in the Lanaudière region of Quebec, Canada. Katherine’s experimental short intends to show that living outside her reserve does not make her any other person than who she really is.
