One of today's most important documentary filmmakers, Alanis
Obomsawin has dedicated her life's work to shining a light on the
injustices experienced by Canada's Indigenous peoples. This
retrospective monograph features an extensive interview with
Obomsawin and includes images and written reflections on her entire
career, including her most recent series devoted to the rights of
Indigenous children. Never shying away from controversy,
Obomsawin's films have played a critical role in exposing ongoing
systemic bias toward Indigenous populations-from fishing rights and
education to health care and treaty violations. Obomsawin is also a
graphic artist, and she incorporates her often dream-inspired
etchings and prints into many of her films. The book includes
illuminating essays exploring Obomsawin's practice and mission as
well as personal commentary from collaborators, archival material,
and photographs from the filmmaker's personal life and professional
practice. As Obomsawin approaches her ninth decade of life-fifth
behind the camera-this beautifully illustrated record of her
astounding body of work is an inspiring celebration of the power of
film to change the course of history. Authors include Karrmen Crey,
Richard Fung, Monika Kin Gagnon, Candice Hopkins, Jessica L.
Horton, Elizabeth Povinelli, Lisa Steele, and Jesse Wente.
