The term “blood quantum” refers to a colonial system enforced on Indigenous peoples in North America which determines their individual status and rights based on their “percentage” of Indigenous ancestry. It is a tool of control, assimilation and erasure of Indigenous peoples.

In this brilliantly provocative horror film set in an isolated Mi’kmaq community, the Indigenous population remains immune to a raging zombie virus infecting the surrounding white population.

Blood soaked, fast paced and darkly comic, Blood Quantum is a wild ride using the zombie genre as a vehicle to explore white supremacy, colonialism, genocide and Indigenous self-determination.

"Romero should be spinning in his grave. In a good way." -Barry Hertz, The Globe and Mail

"Blood Quantum seamlessly balances two very different things; it's proudly and unambiguously political, while simultaneously being just a banger of genre film." -Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, The Blue Lenses
