the WORD’s Tribeca Fest Film Review of SONGS OF BLACK FOLK: A 26-Minute Rhapsodic Documentary That Will Take Your Breath Away – Part 1 of 2 (Update June 9)

“A testament to the resilience, creativity, and cultural richness of Black artists in the Pacific Northwest. At its heart is the annual music program that brings together the largest gathering of Black musical talent on a single stage in the region, a powerful celebration of Juneteenth and the spirit of community it embodies.”

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.
