Info

Moccasin Flats is a Canadian drama series that ran for three full seasons. This series, which has been aired on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network and Showcase Television since 2004, is a co-produced by Big Soul Productions Inc. and Stephan Onda Productions inc.. It takes place in Moccasin Flats, Regina, Saskatchewan, an urban reserve where the inhabitants struggle to maintain their cultural identity while overcoming poverty, gangs, violence, and racism. The series features award nominated actor Andrea Menard and original music by Donald Quan. The original incarnation of Moccasin Flats was as a 2002 short called Moccasin Flats: The Short Film. This movie was the product of an Aboriginal youth media empowerment workshop called repREZentin', which teamed Aboriginal youth with industry professionals in an effort to create short films and videos that told their stories. The short film told the story of Justin, a young Native man who has just found that he has been accepted to university. While he is grateful for the opportunity, he is afraid to leave his friends and family behind in the harsh neighbourhood of Moccasin Flats. His fears are compounded when his arch-rival who is also the former pimp of his now ex-prostitute girlfriend is released from jail and back into the Flats.

Moccasin Flats Audience Reviews

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
JaynaB These episodes are really accessible even if you know nothing about the back story. Also addicting, touching as they do on all aspects of Native Canadian modern life in large part through the eyes of a female police officer trying to balance her culture and her job. She's a good mix of vulnerable and competent, as are the other main characters. No black-and-white, cardboard characters here.I've caught about four episodes at random on APTN in recent weeks and am so caught up in the lives of these characters that I'll have to find a schedule and get serious about figuring out all the relationships and histories.
wborean I caught the show late one night on APTN totally by accident - my finger slipped on the remote. 30 seconds later I was watching with my mouth open. Quite frankly this show is incredible, at least part because it's true.Yes, it's brutal. Yes, the language is rough (I've lost count of how many times I've heard the "F" word). Yes, there's been some interesting love scenes that you wouldn't want a 10 year old to see.So what - it's a fantastic show. It's the sort of TV that Hollywood is too scared to make. Make some time to visit Moccasin Flats. Love it or hate it, it's one powerful show.
rustynails30 Sometimes people watch certain movies or other forms of visual entertainment and dismiss them as exaggerations of the truth. Completely false in the case of this series. I myself live in the city in which this fictional tale occurs. This show couldn't be closer to the truth.Though I did not grow up in the "flats", I can relate to the trials and tribulations faced by these evolving characters. Wanting to make a difference, I accepted a job helping troubled youth. I attempted to help the children, of adults who could not do so for themselves, which I am sad to say is from this area in the city of Regina known as the "flats".I have seen every episode of this program including the making of. Stacey Curtis deserves credit for directing a project with actors that have no real experience, you would never know from watching them. As well as Darrell Dennis for writing such an interesting script and enveloping characters. Speaking of which, that is the focal point that makes this series truly shine. Landon is also an exceptional actor who in this writers opinion has a future in movies or television, it would be exciting to see him in a humorous role as I think he has more depth to him than just the antagonist. Gordon Tootoosis is his usual self, by that I mean bringing warmth and honesty to his character. Another aspect of this series is the abundance of female roles. Candace Fox's character acting shines on many levels, I doubt anyone could understand unless done themselves what it feels like to play such a dark supporting role, I myself would have trouble jumping into the role of a prostitute with a drug addiction, on top of that , find out you are HIV positive, and then have the courage to turn your life around when so many others have failed. I wish I could speak of all the actors but there is just not enough space, all are great.
