In the light of the current struggle against ‘cop city’ in Atlanta (usa), where on the 18th of january a forest defender was killed by the police we will show a documentary
Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance.
The film is roughly two hours long, edited down from 250 hours of footage of the “Oka Crisis”. It was shot in 1990 on 16mm film. This beautifully constructed film by Alanis Obomsawin shows an intimate portrait and faithful narrative of the 77 days of social contestation by primarily Mohawk partisans against the encroaching development of a golf course and the Canadian state on their lands.
