“Hank William’s First Nation - The Series” continues the stories first brought to life in Aaron James Sorensen’s critically acclaimed 2005 feature film “Hank Williams First Nation.” The half-hour series is a collection of stories capturing the unique charms, the character, and the quirky humour of Wapahoo - a fictitious remote Cree community. The whimsical and unique life-affirming culture of the Cree is at the very centre of these stories as the people in them go through the daily trials and tribulations of their lives.
Through it all, the show covers universal themes known to all audiences regarding lessons learned, experiences gained, and hearts swelled and mended.
The six-part series stars Gordon Tootoosis (“North of 60”) and Edna Rain (“Dead Dog Café”) as Adelard and Vivian Fox, grandparents to Sarah and Jacob, played by Teneil Whiskeyjack (“Dreamkeeper”) and Colin Van Loon (“Hank Williams First Nation”). The series also stars Sheldon Elter (“Canadian Idol” semi-finalist) as Sarah’s friend Huey Bigstone and Jimmie Herman (“Distant Drumming: A North of 60 Mystery”) as Uncle Martin.
Theme song: "Spank Hank" by The Cultivators
