Stryker is a 2004 film by Noam Gonick about gang violence in North End Winnipeg, Manitoba.[1]

The film follows a 14-year-old arsonist (Kyle Henry) who becomes involved in a turf war between the Indian Posse and the Asian Bomb Squad (a now-defunct Filipino gang). He is known only as Stryker, a slang term for a prospective gang member.

Music for the film was composed by Karman Omeosoo of Team Rezofficial.[2]
