Atikamekw Suns (French: Soleils Atikamekw) is a 2023 Canadian drama film, written, produced, and directed by Chloé Leriche. The film centres on the true story of five youths from the Atikamekw First Nation community of Manawan who were found dead in a truck in the nearby river in 1977, with police investigation remaining inconclusive to this day about whether the truck driving into the river was a simple accident or a racially-motivated attack.[1]
Its cast includes Jacques Newashish, Mirotansa Chilton, Wikwasa Newashish-Petiquay, Carl-David Ottawa and Oshim Ottawa.
