Based on the celebrated novel by Richard Van Camp, The Lesser Blessed is an eye‐opening depiction of what it's like to be a vulnerable teenager in today’s modern world. Through the eyes of Larry Sole, a First Nation teenager, we meet three unlikely friends isolated in a small rural town who discover what they can of life and love amid racial tensions and the recklessness of youth. In a world clouded by a dark mystery from his past, Larry is filled with bravado and angst, fragile and angry, seeking clarity while clouded by confusion, seeking to belong without belonging.
