ComingSoon is debuting an exclusive trailer for The Nation. Freestyle Digital Media’s upcoming Native American-themed mockumentary movie will be available to rent or own on North American digital HD internet, cable, DVD, and satellite platforms starting July 3, 2026.
“The film follows the unconventional Chief Chucky Ribbonleg of the Deep Lake First Nation. Empowered by casino and oil revenues, Chucky decides he will no longer comply with the arbitrary laws imposed by the Canadian government. Instead, he takes the concept of sovereignty to the absolute limit and declares Deep Lake a fully independent nation, creating and enforcing his own laws,” reads the official synopsis.
“A documentary film crew captures the bureaucratic nightmare that follows. Chucky’s radical decision creates a massive ripple effect across the nation’s administrative staff. At the center of the chaos is Chucky’s no-nonsense sister, Monica Leprete, who serves as the National Director for the Regional Education Nourishment Centre. The cameras follow a colorful array of community members as they attempt to navigate their newly sovereign landscape.”

What happens in The Nation trailer?
The video introduces Chucky, the elected chief of the Deep Lake First Nation, who decides to enforce his own laws by making Deep Lake an independent nation. A documentary film crew will follow Chucky and his team as they deal with the hilarious consequences of Chucky’s new self-enforced laws, including no longer wearing helmets while playing hockey.
The Nation is written and directed by Aaron James. The ensemble cast includes Conway Kootenay as Chief Chucky Ribbonleg; Kelly Orr as Chucky’s sister Monica; Brett Mooswa as Sammy, a liquor-bootlegging border guard; Aaron James as Sarge, the town’s laissez-faire sheriff; Mia Dixon as Jill Houle, Monica’s energetic assistant and Sarge’s partner in crime; and Kristen Minoose as Vanessa, the Chief’s incredibly stoic accountant. The film is produced by James, Mariah Janvier, Mia Dixon, and James Blackman.
“I’m very proud of The Nation – never quite seen anything like it,” James said in a statement. “Conway Kootenay is a comic genius. The film is funny, touching, and smart. The satire lands. It’ll make you laugh and ask questions at the same time. Outstanding cast and crew, this was a joy to make and be part of.”
