Acts of Defiance
This Film was made in 1992 by Alec Maclead. The film is about the mohawk crisis the events that happened in Kahnwake, Quebec back in 1990. A group of mohawks that called themselves the warriors made a barricades to protect the pines the place that the government was trying to expand a golf course onto aboriginal burial grounds. When the warriors did not open the barricades the army became very violent and the two were at war with each other. Many Mohawk women are on the film showing their support for the community and to the warriors by voicing their opinion to the public and protesting while the warriors were fighting inside the barricade. The film has many interviews with many different people, the film is not one sided and shows different things that were happening in and outside the community.
