The Pretendians (Documentary)
Directors: Paul Kemp, Drew Hayden Taylor
Produced by: CBC Docs
2022; Running Time: 44 Min

From YouTube
The term “pretendian” has come to refer to someone who claims distant Indigenous heritage that doesn’t stand up to deeper scrutiny. But why would someone fake an Indigenous identity?
Anishinaabe author and humorist Drew Hayden Taylor investigates how — and why — Indigenous identity, culture and art are being appropriated by those who are not First Nations.

Ninan Auassat: We, the Children (Documentary)
Directed by: Kim O'Bomsawin
Produced by: Mélanie Brière, Nathalie Cloutier, Colette Loumède
2024; Running Time: 1 Hr 31 Min

From the National Film Board website:
Told entirely from a child’s perspective, Ninan Auassat: We, the Children is a powerful and immersive documentary that reveals the dreams of a new generation ready to take flight. Renowned for her intimate and compelling films, director Kim O’Bomsawin takes us deep into the world of Indigenous youth, capturing the stories of children from the Atikamekw, Eeyou Cree and Innu Nations over a period of more than six years. Without adult narration or expert commentary, the film offers an unfiltered look at childhood as it unfolds, from everyday life to defining moments on the path to adulthood. It’s a bold cinematic statement—one that gives space to a generation eager to be heard. Their voices ring out, not just as personal stories, but as a call to action, demanding recognition and the chance to thrive on their own terms.

Today’s Pride Month Resource

Today marks the tenth anniversary of the deadly Pulse Nightclub mass shooting in Orlando, Florida on June 12, 2016. A shooter entered the Pulse Nightclub, a place where LGBTQ+ young people went to simply be themselves for a few hours in the company of others just like themselves. Their lives were senselessly taken by a gunman who ultimately took the lives of 49 people and wounded 53 others. He was also killed at the scene. These folks did not deserve to die like this. They were human beings, created in God’s image, beloved and loved. –ED

Stop the Hate: 49 Celebrities Honor 49 Victims of Pulse Tragedy (Documentary)
Produced by: The Human Rights Campaign
Directed by: Ryan Murphy
2016; Running Time: 18 Min

From YouTube
For too long, a toxic combination of anti-LGBTQ hate and easy access to guns has put LGBTQ people at disproportionate risk of violence and murder. On June 12, forty-nine innocent people -- most of them Latinx -- were killed at Pulse nightclub in Orlando simply because of who they were. It's on all of us to keep their memories alive, and to ensure part of their legacy becomes meaningful action to end hate violence.

Feather Fall (Documentary)
Written & Directed by: Ossie Michelin
Produced by: Liz Cowie, Rohan Fernando
Narrated by: Ossie Michelin
2024; Running Time: 23 Min

From the National Film Board website:
In Feather Fall, Indigenous journalist Ossie Michelin reflects on the personal memories and viral images stored on the phone he used to document a pivotal moment of Indigenous resistance. In 2013, while reporting for APTN and covering conflicts from an Indigenous perspective, Michelin captured a photograph that resonated across the globe and became a symbol of resistance. Ten years later, he returns with a film crew to Elsipogtog to reconnect with the community at the heart of the story and explore how the events of that fall have shaped the lives of those involved. The film also examines how Indigenous activism, environmental struggles and media coverage have evolved in the decade since.
