Inkwo For When The Starving Return

Set two lifetimes from now, the film follows Dove, a young, enigmatic genderfluid warrior who discovers both the burden and strength of their Inkwo—ancestral medicine and truth—as they confront terrifying flesh-eating creatures that grow stronger with each life they consume. Guided by a frog helper and fortified by alliances across the boundaries of species and spirit, Dove must embrace their identity and their gift to protect what remains of Earth’s humans and animals.

My Name Is Kahentiiosta

This short documentary by Alanis Obomsawin tells the story of Kahentiiosta, a young Kahnawake Mohawk woman arrested after the Oka Crisis’ 78-day armed standoff in 1990. She was detained 4 days longer than the other women. Her crime? The prosecutor representing the Quebec government did not accept her Indigenous name.

Palestine 36

This must be one of the first movies depicting the Great Palestinian Revolt of 1936, from the nationalist perspective. The first intifada, if you can swear. I knew of this through the Middle East Eye

In 1936, as Palestinian villages revolt against British colonial rule, under the backdrop of dispossession and disenfranchisement by a relatively small Zionist forces, Yusuf navigates between Jerusalem/Al Quds and his rural home, amidst escalating unrest and a pivotal moment for the British Empire.

Here we shall also see how the Palestinian national movement, relatively young and divided yet burgeoning, start and makes its bones in the art of sumud (firmness), muquwama (resistance) and intifada (uprising), albeit at a heavy price to pay against Brits as their national leadership is decapitated and scattered.

On the other hand, the British empire, using the vile, wily repressive strategies they’ve developed from experience, such as in the Troubles, help teach Zionist forces in counterinsurgency, one such leader being especially involved materially and ideologically, Captain Orde Wingate, who thankfully but too late died in 1944.

Wingate was so deeply associated with political causes in Palestine that his superiors considered him compromised as an intelligence officer in the country. He was promoting his own agenda rather than that of the army or the government. In May 1939, he was transferred to Britain. Wingate became a hero of the Yishuv (the Jewish Community), and was loved by leaders such as Zvi Brenner and Moshe Dayan, who trained under him and said that Wingate had “taught us everything we know.”[41]
