Restoration is a fascinating piece of documentary filmmaking that feels both raw and deeply resonant. It captures Beau Dick's Copper Breaking ceremony, a moment steeped in cultural significance, right at the BC Legislature during the Idle No More movement. The found-footage style gives it an organic, almost gritty quality, making you feel like you're right there amidst the fervor. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of the ceremony to sink in, while the ambient sounds and visuals come together to create a palpable atmosphere of urgency and reverence. What really stands out is the way it honors both the tradition being showcased and the contemporary political climate, creating a dialogue between past and present. It’s a unique take on activism through art, distinct in its approach and execution.
