Synopsis
From the earliest days of film and television and for decades to follow, the First Nations people were portrayed by the entertainment industry as bloodthirsty savages! Those early days created lasting and damaging images and stereotypes. In this one-hour documentary, an untold story of tragedy and triumph offers an intimate look into the real-life struggle of being "Indian" in the make-believe world of film and television. Join Tantoo Cardinal and her guests: Graham Greene, August Schellenberg, Gordon Tootoosis, Tom Jackson, Nathaniel Arcand, Dakota House, Gerald Auger, Jimmy Herman, Stacy Da Silva, and many more. It’s the inside story about film and television as told by some of Canada’s leading actors and directors; people who’ve dared to dream.
