On a July day in 1990, a confrontation propelled First Nations issues in Kanehsatake and the village of Oka, Quebec, into the international spotlight. Director Alanis Obomsawin spent 78 nerve-wracking days and nights filming the armed stand-off between the Kanien’kéhaka (Mohawk) People, the Quebec police and the Canadian army. This powerful documentary takes you right into the action of this historic confrontation. The result is a portrait of the people behind the barricades. • For ages 15 - 17 • Directed by Alanis Obomsawin - 1993 | 119 min • Watch more free films on NFB.ca → http://bit.ly/YThpNFB • Subscribe to our newsletter → http://bit.ly/NFBnewsletter • Follow us on Facebook → http://bit.ly/ytfbNFB • Follow us on Instagram → http://bit.ly/2FdmRol • Follow us on Twitter → http://bit.ly/yttwNFB • Download our free iOS Apps → http://apple.co/2dbva4h • Download our free Android Apps → http://bit.ly/2dbvHmO
