Overview |
In this personal documentary, Indigenous comedian Chad Charlie goes to participate in the Standing Rock occupation and has a transformative experience. The film takes us on Charlie’s powerful passage of self-discovery, from the irreverent jokester to the culturally aware poet whose powerful spoken word piece encapsulates his realizations at the close of the film. In this blend of cinema, vlog, and social media with tons of humour, Charlie uses a real mix of formats (phone streaming, news footage, fly-on-the-wall documentary style) very effectively, and doesn’t try to work in a huge narrative or have a tidy conclusion. Like many who were there and endured violence by police against their peaceful marches, Charlie is still working through trauma and mental health issues he experienced from it. In his case, this journey has left him with a greater awareness of the ongoing injustices that Indigenous people must still contend with. |

Overview |
In deze persoonlijke korte documentaire neemt de inheemse komiek Chad Charlie deel aan de bezetting van Standing Rock. De film neemt ons mee op Charlie's krachtige passage van zelfontdekking, van de oneerbiedige grappenmaker tot de cultureel bewuste dichter wiens krachtige spoken word-stuk zijn realisaties aan het einde van de film samenvat.Zoals velen die daar waren en het geweld van de politie hebben doorstaan tegen hun vreedzame marsen, is Charlie nog steeds bezig met trauma's en psychische problemen die hij erdoor heeft ervaren. In zijn geval heeft deze reis hem een groter bewustzijn opgeleverd van het voortdurende onrecht waarmee inheemse volkeren nog steeds te kampen hebben. |
