Choke Synopsis


Upon leaving his First Nations reserve, Jimmy encounters the lost souls of the city and is reminded that no matter how far you travel, you cannot escape who you are.

When Jimmy leaves his northern First Nations reservation to pursue a life in the city, he quickly realizes that urban life is not what he’d imagined. As he encounters the lost souls of the city, he is reminded of the power place. Inspired by the late, First Nation’s artist Kyle Morriseau, Choke uses stop-motion animation to explore themes of urban isolation and the individual search for identity within modern society.
