Night Raiders – Dubbed in Cree

Director Danis Goulet’s movie Night Raiders made a big impression at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. You can find the TIFF overview here.

Some of us are even more impressed that it was overdubbed in Cree. The Cree version is currently available for streaming on Crave TV at the following links (they will offer you a free 7-day trial if you’re not already a member):

Here’s what Bill Cook had to say about it – in Cree – on FaceBook. (Pro tip: “tagāgs” is Bill’s Creenglish form of takahki.)

This is right on!!! We just finished watching Night Raiders, the Cree version and our daughter did the voice over on this movie, and sounded good speaking Cree.❤️ I am grateful to Danis Goulet and Tina Keeper and also everone that was involved in this movie. Also it’s was nice to see all the different dialects represented.

The brief video clip below features voiceover of the character Waseese/Elizabeth provided by Bill Cook’s daughter BillieRose. (We’re uncertain who to credit with translation of the script – but we’re pretty proud of them, too!)
