THE OLD WAYS

TRAILER / FULL FILM​

​The Old Ways asks what it would take for a government to justify and enforce the death penalty on a child, and offers a scathingly satirical response: public relations. A pitch black comedy that frames the justice system as spectacle, this film’s treatment of its highly political subject is only outdone by its striking visuals and arresting mise-en-scène.
-Magali Simard (TIFF Programmer)
