Nekai Walks is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Rico King and released in 2026.[1] An exploration of gun violence in Canada, the film profiles Nekai Foster, a young Black Canadian man who was shot in the head as an innocent bystander in a drive-by shooting in the Jane and Finch district of Toronto, profiling both his recovery from his injuries and his emergence as a public anti-gun activist in the years following the incident, as well as Devon Jones, a community organizer who runs a neighbourhood program in Jane and Finch to keep youth from falling into gang-related crime.[2]
In an essay for the Cutaways feature on CBC Arts, King wrote about the impact of meeting Foster and documenting his story.[3]
The film premiered at the 2026 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.[1]
