[RSCT] Films about Genocide? Films about Hegemony?

[Wendy Warren]

"Where the Spirit Lives" is a Canadian made film about Indian boarding schools.  
 
Also, here is a great review of a new film I haven't seen yet:  http://indiancountrynews.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4324&Itemid=80 about boarding schools.  The review alone is worth a read.  Besides that, I've only seen books that cover the northern hemisphere's history with indigenous peoples as genocide, but if anyone comes up with a film, I'd love to know about it, too.  Thanks for asking this question. A great list is being generated...

Subject: [RSCT] Films about Genocide? Films about Hegemony?

Hello, friends.

I'm trying to identify a few films that deal with genocide/holocausts. I know of some of the popular ones such as Hotel Rwanda, but I wonder if you have any other ideas. 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?

If you could send me a title and short description of any ideas you might have, that would be wonderful.

I'm looking, as well, for films that might capture the notion of hegemony for first year undergraduate college students. Any ideas on this?

Thanks for any help you offer.

Best,

Paul
