[RSCT] [MCP] Films about Genocide? Films about Hegemony?

[Karen Lichtenberg]

"Sometimes in April" is another film about the Rwandan genocide, if
you want something a little less "big name" Hollywood.

Does anybody know, for example, of a film that frames the annihilate of Native Americans explicitly as genocide? Or African slaves in North America? What about something related to native peoples that might be even more contemporary? Or even something about Rwanda other than Hotel Rwanda? Or something that looks across several different genocides?
