My Decolonization Blind Spots

Even as someone who considers myself informed—as someone who reads Indigenous authors, attends events, works alongside Indigenous colleagues, and genuinely cares about justice—I still carry blind spots.

New blog post is up: Defenders of the Forest — a film five years in the making about Indigenous resistance to colonial logging in so-called Quebec. From frontline blockades to cross-continental solidarity, this project is rooted in collaboration and urgency.

We’re in the final stretch and need your support to finish post-production. Read more and subscribe to our newsletter here:

Fuck Canada Day. Support Anti-Colonial Media.

Yeah, we know—it’s Canada Day. A day when this colonial state pats itself on the back with fireworks and maple-washed history books. But for many of us, it’s a day of mourning, resistance, and truth-telling.

At Amplifier Films, we’re not here to celebrate genocide wrapped in red and white. We’re a crew made up of people from colonized lands—Kanien’kehá:ka Territory, Borikén, and beyond—and we’ve dedicated our work to tearing down colonial lies and amplifying the real stories of land defense, past and present.

From the forests of so-called Canada to the streets of occupied Palestine, we bring you radical media from the front lines. That means real stories. Real resistance. Real decolonial politics. No filters. No apologies.

We’ve got two major projects right now that need your support:

🔥 Red Road to the West Bank – Following Indigenous land defenders from Turtle Island connecting with Palestinian resistance on the ground. https://amplifierfilms.ca/redroad

🔥 Front Line Reports – Ongoing, no-bullshit coverage of land back struggles, settler violence, and Indigenous resistance here and abroad. https://amplifierfilms.ca/shorts

Throw down if you can. A donation of $70 or more gets you a keffiyeh as a thank-you—a symbol of resistance and solidarity.

📣 This Canada Day, skip the fireworks. Fund the fire. Support anti-colonial media.

Why deportations actually dropped in Trump’s first term

Given his rhetoric demonizing undocumented immigrants and his promise to engage in mass deportations when he retakes the White House in January, it’s kind of shocking that deportations actually dropped in the four years Donald Trump was president.
