Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance
On a hot July day in 1990, an historic confrontation propelled Indigenous issues
in Kanehsatake and the village of Oka, Québec, into the international spotlight and
into the Canadian conscience. Director Alanis Obomsawin endured 78
nerve-wracking days and nights filming the armed stand-off between the Mohawks,
the Québec police and the Canadian army. A powerful feature-documentary
emerges that takes you right into the action of an age-old Indigenous struggle.
The result is a portrait of the people behind the barricades, providing insight into
the Mohawks' unyielding determination to protect their land. |
