THIS LAND: Eye Opening, Awe-Inspiring Award-Winning Short Film Documentary Telling the Incredible Story of Ganienkeh, a Sovereign Mohawk Community in Upstate New York

Poignant and timely. An awe-inspiring, must-watch for those interested in – and those who should be interested in – social justice, real American history and the power of grassroots movements to make things happen positively. The film does not blink at the violence and menace perpetrated by non-Native Americans nor does it shrink from it but the footnotes shouldn’t be ignored. Filmmaker Mike Bradley offers viewers the rare opportunity to engage with a powerhouse cinematic narrative of resistance, cultural preservation and the ongoing struggle for indigenous rights.

Part II: Film Review of THE HEIRLOOM, A Rom-Com Psychodrama With Paradoxical Plot and Narrative Twists That Can Be Mesmerizing

THE HEIRLOOM is Heavy with a capitol H. “This is a true story” flashes briefly at the beginning of the film. It is a semi-autobiographical piece, drawing, heavily, on a couple’s real-life adoption of a rescue dog, Dilly, during the pandemic, and the strains on the couple’s relationship, according to numerous cyber film synopses and descriptions easily found on Google. This reviewer regards the COVID-19 Pandemic as an existential menace, that showed us what the gates of hell might look like. – Review, Article by Gregg W. Morris, Editor, Reviewer.
