Production : Chanelle Lajoie
This film addresses the colonial and structural violence experienced by indigenous people.
Synopsis
Métis Femme Bodies is an exploration into the experiences of what has become a repressed identity in both Indigenous and femme forms. Métis Femme Bodies aims to offer visibility and voice to those who have been denied such luxury in order to accurately represent themselves and correct misleading narratives imposed by greater power structures.
A word from Tënk
Métis Femmes Bodies lets us hear a nuanced, complex and profound discourse that opens up the multiple dimensions of women's and Métis identities. By showing bodies in postures normally confined to the private sphere, it gives access to a confronting vulnerability that allows us to take the full measure of what is said. A necessary film.
