We Are Still Here

About This Movie

So, 'We Are Still Here' is a powerful documentary that dives deep into the often-overlooked narratives of Indigenous peoples in cinema. It's fascinating how it peels back layers of historical misrepresentation that dates back to the early days of Hollywood. The tone is both somber and enlightening, striking a balance that makes you ponder while keeping your attention. The pacing is thoughtful, giving space for voices that have been silenced for too long. What’s distinct here is the rawness of the performances, the real stories from those living these experiences, and the blend of personal anecdotes with broader cultural reflections. It’s a reminder that Indigenous people are not just relics of the past; they are very much present and engaged in their stories.
