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.

Bon, 12 jours à parcourir le soi-disant Québec dans tous les sens – Camp Souveraineté, Kanesatake, Wemotaci, retour à Camp Souveraineté, puis hop, Terre Inu, et enfin Mashteuiatsh – juste pour voir des actes de résistance autochtone badass contre l’avidité forestière. Premier épisode de notre série vidéo, et je vous préviens : ça va dépoter. Montage complet en docu bientôt.

Ne vous inquiétez pas, demain la version anglaise débarque. Et évidemment tout est en français… sauf la partie qui sera en anglais demain, parce que oui, je suis un génie de la logique linguistique. 😉

En juillet 2025, des défenseur·e·s de la terre innu·e·s et nehirowisiw·e·s, membres de l’Alliance MAMO, ont bloqué les voies ferrées du Canadien National entre la Mauricie et l’Abitibi pour stopper l’extraction massive de bois sur leurs territoires non cédés. Malgré la présence policière, les blocus sont restés pacifiques, ancrés dans une volonté de protection du territoire et de la forêt boréale. Amplifier Films était sur place, à Wemotaci et Mashteuiatsh, pour documenter cette action de souveraineté autochtone.

🎬 Restez à l’écoute pour notre documentaire à venir : Les défenseur·e·s de la forêt

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.

Check it out here:

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.

Well look what just arrived from Palestine by way of Amplifier Films.

If you want to wear a symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian people in their resistance against Israeli genocide while also helping @AmplifierFilms raise funds for their documentary, A Red Road to the West Bank, go here and please donate:

Wear Your Solidarity: Keffiyehs for a Cause | Amplifier Films

Donated by a Palestinian shopkeeper in Bethlehem—with the help of Omrane Hasan—these keffiyehs are powerful symbols of resistance, much like the Mohawk warrior flag. Every scarf helps fund A Red Road to the West Bank, a film connecting Indigenous struggles from Palestine to Turtle Island.
