July of 1990 saw the first violence between Canada's indigenous peoples and provincial authorities in over a century erupt, as Mohawk protesters responded to the grant of a Quebec golf course's expansion onto sacred lands with a ten-week standoff that left two dead and scores injured. Director Alanis Obomsawin's remarkable behind-the-barricades chronicle offers singular insight into a disturbing and defining national crisis. 119 min.
