Mr Vozly changed the course and watched 2025's Sinners instead of Avatar. Sinners? In a chapter about Indigenous Representation?

Flying solo this episode, he analyzes the movie and relates major aspects of it to previous discussion points in Indigenous Representation episodes.

Up next in our chapter on Indigenous Representation is the Academy Award nominated documentary Sugarcane. We talk about the tragedies that Sugarcane sheds light on, and how impactful they are even to today in native communities. We discuss other hardships depicted in the movie that aren't as exclusive as one may have thought. In an episode full of harsh topics, we also make sure we highlight what made as proud to see from Sugarcane.

PLEASE note, the subject matter is real and may be difficult to hear i.e. sexual abuse, murder, mental health.

The first movie in the Indigenous Representation chapter is 1992's Thunderheart (RIP Val Kilmer). This movie finds its way into the hosts' top favorite movies about indigenous people, but how universal are its topics?

We discuss our history of viewing, whether it was a stereotypical portrayal of natives or not, whether this is a fair representation of indigenous people, what we were proud to see in this movie, conflicts in relation to real life, and whether these conflicts are accessible to a non-native audience.
