The soul of a Native American warrior lurks within the body of an eight-year-old boy in this darkly witty satire from filmmaker David Garrett. A young boy spends his days quietly appalled by his surroundings; he hates the frozen dinners and fast food that his mother serves him, he loathes the video games that lull his peers into a dull conformity, he's offended by his mother's taste for alcohol and love of shopping and he even distrusts the family dog. One day, an act of rebellion puts the lad on his mother's bad side, but he isn't about to give up, and he uses his birthday party as an opportunity to launch an armed revolt. Warlord was screened in competition at the 2007 Seattle International Film Festival.
