Group Film | Real Injun

On Sunday, January 13, we will be watching Real Injun at 221 Boer Hall at 7pm. Real Injun is a documentary tracing how the appearance of images of First Nations people in cinema affected how we understand or misunderstand their culture and history.

This is a link to a review from Mike Hale for the New York Times. He focuses more on how the different featured directors, actors and writers reminisce on their sins of old. Here on the other hand is a review by Joe Leydon for Variety Online focusing on the seriousness of the film and comments on the omission of the more violent scenes of those old movies.


Finally, here's a trailer to the documentary:
