Crazywater is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Dennis Allen and released in 2013. Adapted from Brian Maracle's non-fiction book Crazywater: Native Voices on Addiction and Recovery, the film centres on the issue of alcoholism in First Nations communities.
The film premiered on November 4, 2013, at the American Indian Film Festival, and had its Canadian premiere at the 2014 Available Light Film Festival.
