Deep Inside Clint Star takes you on a hilarious, bittersweet and intimate journey into the hearts and minds of some very ordinary, extraordinary young Canadians. Director Clint Alberta leads us through the film as the character Clint Star. Handsome and charismatic, Star adopts several personas, from 70s disco king to futuristic robot. Up gritty city streets and down dusty reservation roads, Star seeks out his far-flung buddies, young Natives like himself. They talk about it all -sex and life; love and abuse; five hundred years of oppression- with humour, grace and an uncommon dose of courage. The film explores complex issues of identity, sexuality and intimacy, while retaining the creative and playful styleof a director who is not afraid of turning the camera on himself.
