June 21st is National Aboriginal Day, which is observed in Canada to recognize and celebrate the cultures and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Metis people in Canada. With National Aboriginal Day in mind, the theme for today will be films on Aboriginal peoples-enjoy!
1 Atanarjuat (2001) Director: Zacharias Kunuk
Film about an Inuit legend about an evil spirit and a warrior (Natar Ungalaaq) who attempts to battle it...
2 Whale Rider (2003) Director: Niki Caro
Breathtaking film about Maori girl (Paikea) who tries to fulfill a destiny despite her grandfather's objections-Keisha Castle Hughes was nominated for her portrayal as Paikea...
3 The Wind and the Water (2008) Director: Vero Bollow
A young indigenous teenager has difficulty adjusting to urban life...
As I have seen only one film from the above list (Whale Rider) I look forward to your feedback-enjoy!
