Winnipeg filmmaker Madison Thomas has revealed a strong talent for creating films with a dramatic sense of immediacy. In her first feature film This Is Why We Fight, she works with cinematographer Andrew Luczenczyn and uses the desolate backdrop of Winnipeg to reveal a dark dystopian future Canada. The year is 2042; years of economic breakdown, government turmoil andanarchy has left a cold, desolate Canadian city barely standing. Trash litters the streets, electricity is limited by rolling blackouts and the sound of gunfire has become all too common. The only ones left alive in this harsh world are the ones who dominate the weak, and the ones smart enough to stay out of their way. Caleb Jacobs is such a man: producing moonshine and drugs out of his garage allows him to survive and keep the gang lords happy. Yet, despite his profession, Caleb does believe himself to be a decent human being and lives by a strong set of morals.
