Broken Angel

Angel, a once vibrant and beautiful Cree woman, becomes weary and spiritless after enduring viscous spiritual, physical, and emotional abuse from her alcoholic partner Earl. When his anger turns to her young daughter Tanis, Angel comes to realize that his abusive nature is a threat to them both. With the strength of her daughter and the love of her mother Gracie, watching over them from the spirit realm, Angel and Tanis flee into the night and head towards safety, a women’s shelter on the reservation. Once they are in the care of the shelter, Angel finds herself in a supportive community of Indigenous women, including her foster mother, Dorothy. While in the shelter, they start to connect with other women, their cultural identity, spirituality, and the spirit of Gracie, who follows them in hopes of saving them from further assaults. Angel finds temporary peace, and the prospect of a new beginning is on the horizon, but not too long after they settle, her world comes crumbling down around her. After recovering from his altercation with Angel, a revengeful Earl living in his own hell, frantically tries to locate Angel. In his desperation, Earl is able to locate them and just as Angel faces her past and prepares for a new life, she must come face to face with her biggest fear, Earl. In a deadly confrontation, Angel is forced to run or take her life back. With the help and love of her family, Angel must fight for her life and her future.
