What Is SNIP About?

The premise of SNIP without spoilers.

Annie, a young woman enjoying a carefree life, and Gordon, a homeless man, find themselves unexpectedly transported through a hidden subway tunnel to a strange and disturbing alternate reality. There, they discover two children being held captive and subjected to torment by unsettling figures. This animated film explores a painful chapter in Canadian history, shedding light on the residential school system and the forced assimilation of First Nations children, a practice that continued into the 1990s and separated them from their families and cultural heritage.
