Directed by Alanis Obomsawin, 1993, 119 min.
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. A powerful feature-documentary emerges that takes you right into the action of an age-old aboriginal struggle.
