As a Native Hawaiian, it's beautiful to see our Austronesian indigenous cousins in Madagascar getting free from French colonialism. Gives hope against the US empire here in Hawaii.

Here's a great article about the dozens of Indigenous youth from Klamath River Basin tribes who descended the Klamath River--after more than a hundred years finally no longer pent and dammed--all the way to the sea from the source. The story of the summer around here, as far as I'm concerned.

Indigenous land defenders are shutting down logging ops, blocking trains, and fighting for future generations. We’ve been filming it all. New blog post + urgent call to support Defenders of the Forest — a film 5 yrs in the making.

12 days, thousands of kilometers dodging potholes and cynical corporate PR—from Nehirowisiw Territory to Kanehsatake, swing through Wemotaci, then Mashteuiatsh—just to film land defenders giving CN and the clear-cutting psychopaths the one-finger salute. This clip, They Stopped the Train to Defend the Forest, is a taste of our full doc Defenders of the Forest, dropping soon and free for your solidarity screenings. Stay woke (LOL) and check 🔗 https://amplifierfilms.ca — this isn’t tourism, it’s frontline Indigenous resistance.

OK I swear this is the last post I’ll make about the Oka Crisis this year… but it’s important to remember.
Alanis Obomsawin’s Kanehsatà:ke: 270 Years of Resistance didn’t just blow my mind — it shaped the way I approach filmmaking. It showed me that a film could be more than a record — it could be a weapon. A document of resistance that outlives the moment and keeps feeding the fire.
I wrote up some thoughts about that, and shared a few pieces I’ve made over the years about the so-called Oka Crisis — clips with Clifton Nicholas, Gord Hill and Ellen Gabriel.

Fuck Canada Day. Support Anti-Colonial Media.
Yeah, we know—it’s Canada Day. A day when this colonial state pats itself on the back with fireworks and maple-washed history books. But for many of us, it’s a day of mourning, resistance, and truth-telling.
At Amplifier Films, we’re not here to celebrate genocide wrapped in red and white. We’re a crew made up of people from colonized lands—Kanien’kehá:ka Territory, Borikén, and beyond—and we’ve dedicated our work to tearing down colonial lies and amplifying the real stories of land defense, past and present.
From the forests of so-called Canada to the streets of occupied Palestine, we bring you radical media from the front lines. That means real stories. Real resistance. Real decolonial politics. No filters. No apologies.
We’ve got two major projects right now that need your support:
🔥 Red Road to the West Bank – Following Indigenous land defenders from Turtle Island connecting with Palestinian resistance on the ground. https://amplifierfilms.ca/redroad
🔥 Front Line Reports – Ongoing, no-bullshit coverage of land back struggles, settler violence, and Indigenous resistance here and abroad. https://amplifierfilms.ca/shorts
Throw down if you can. A donation of $70 or more gets you a keffiyeh as a thank-you—a symbol of resistance and solidarity.
📣 This Canada Day, skip the fireworks. Fund the fire. Support anti-colonial media.

It’s Canada Day today. A complicated holiday. I think our greatest chance is to listen to those who are most oppressed, and work to make that world…there are more people in the world who think this than not even though it might not feel like it.
