<span style="font-size:11.0pt">The searing <i>Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance</i> follows the Oka Crisis, one of the most widely publicized instances of government-sanctioned violence against First Nations peoples in the 20th century. In 1990, the local
government of Oka, a small town in Quebec, approved the development of a private golf course on sacred Kanien’kéhaka (Mohawk) burial grounds. Local activists and organizers defied this unilateral decision and physically stood their ground, attempting to prevent
the destruction of their land. Throughout, filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin rallied alongside them, often the only member of the film crew present on the frontlines. In the end, the Canadian government would spend more than $155 million crushing the resistance.
Obomsawin’s chronicle is a profound testament to the role filmmaking can play in a political struggle. (119 mins., DCP)</span></p>
