Sundance 2023 - Twice Colonized & Murder In Big Horn

Send us Fan MailWelcome to day 9 of our Sundance/Slamdance Film Festival coverage! Joined again by our Park City cohort & honorary bitch John Wildman of Films Gone Wild, we're highlighting a Sundance film and series that focus on Indigenous issues. Twice Colonized is a documentary that tells the story of Aaju Peter, a Greenlandic Inuit lawyer and activist who is working to bring her colonizers in both Canada and Denmark to justice, and defend the human rights of Indigenous peoples of the Arctic.  We had the pleasure of sitting down with Aaju Peter and director Lin Alluna, to discuss the difficulty of following Aaju through some of the toughest moments in anyone's life, the importance of bringing some light and fun into the film, and what it means to be Twice Colonized.The episodic docu-series Murder in Big Horn gives a thorough examination of the tribal members and communities in Big Horn, Montana who are fighting an epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW) that has been reoccurring since colonization. Directors Razelle Benally and Matthew Galkin discuss how these social issues can be traced all the way back from the roots of being placed on the reservation, the frustration and anger that comes with not receiving sufficient help from the police, and how the community is left to pick up the pieces. You can watch Murder in Big Horn now on Showtime. Follow Twice Colonized on IGFollow lawyer/activist Aaju Peter on TwitterFollow director Lin Alluna on IGFollow director Razelle Benally on IGFollow director Matthew Galkin on IG--Thanks for listening and for your support!
