These Are My People... is an intriguing documentary short that really captures the essence of the Akwesasne community. Directed by Michael Kanentakeron Mitchell, it's notable not just for its content but also for being the first film crafted by an all-Aboriginal crew. The atmosphere is raw and authentic, giving a real sense of place and culture. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to absorb the insights of the two spokesmen who dive into Longhouse religion and the intricacies of their governance. It feels like a window into a world less seen, with a tone that’s both respectful and revealing. The practical effects are non-existent, but the real-life performances and stories told hold profound weight.
