SUMMARY:Screening: Kanehsatake – 270 Years of Resistance
DESCRIPTION:The Radical Imagination Project is delighted to be once again partnering with Cinema Politica and the Central Branch of the Halifax Public Library to curate a series of provocative documentary films to Halifax from September to December 2015. These films focus on key contemporary issues and will be followed by moderated discussions. All Screenings are free and open to the public.\n25 years since the momentous events that changed Canada forever\n(1993\, director: Alanis Obomsawin) On a hot July day in 1990\, an historic confrontation propelled Native 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 aboriginal struggle. The result is a portrait of the people behind the barricades\, providing insight into the Mohawks’ unyelding determination to protect their land.\nMonday\, September 14\, 6:30pm – Central Branch Library\, rm. 301
