We took a break from filming in Nehirowisiw territory (also known as Nitaskinan, homeland of the Atikamekw) for our upcoming documentary Guardians of the Forest to meet with Rehab Nazzal—who first met Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas in 2016 when she served as an activist guide during his visit to Bethlehem and the occupied West Bank.

This time, Clifton was able to return the gesture by welcoming her to Kanehsatà:ke and sharing the land with her alongside longtime land defender and Siege of Kanehsatà:ke veteran Ellen Gabriel.

It was a powerful exchange between communities separated by geography but united in struggle.

🎥 Stay tuned for more rough cuts from A Red Road to the West Bank, and keep an eye out for Guardians of the Forest—a documentary-in-the-making about the ongoing fight to protect Nehirowisiw lands.

In this quiet reflection, Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas from Kanehsatà:ke walks the streets of Bethlehem and sees something familiar. Despite the occupation that surrounds them, people live. They laugh, open their shops, weave through markets. Life goes on—not because the conditions are easy, but because refusing to disappear is a kind of resistance.

A Red Road to the West Bank is a documentary-in-progress exploring the deep connections between Indigenous resistance in Turtle Island and Palestinian struggles for liberation. Grounded in lived experience, the film follows Clifton’s journey to Palestine and the echoes he found there.

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.

This week, Clifton and I joined the Seeds of Revolution podcast out of so-called Victoria. We dug into the connections between colonization in Palestine and what's gone down on Kanien’kehà:ka territory and in Borikén (Puerto Rico). Different lands, same settler playbook.

We’re almost at our goal for the Red Road to the West Bank campaign — big love to everyone who’s chipped in so far. If you’re able to support, head over to https://amplifierfilms.ca/redroad and toss us a few bucks.

Also… we’re officially out of keffiyehs. Y’all cleaned us out!

Last week we sat down for a great convo with our friends at @thefinalstrawradio out of Asheville, NC. Clifton and I talked A Red Road to the West Bank, end-of-the-world resistance, and even children’s books. Give it a listen and share it around! 📻🔥

Decolonization ain't a buzzword. It’s about land, power, and burning down the systems that keep us in chains. In this clip, Gord Hill lays it out plain—what it is, and what it’s not.

This is a piece of A Red Road to the West Bank, a film we’re building from the ground up, no studio strings, no NGO fluff—just raw, frontline resistance from Turtle Island to Palestine.

Kick in a few bucks, get a keffiyeh, and help us finish this thing.

Gord Hill doesn’t mince words—decolonization isn’t a metaphor. It means land back, autonomy, and dismantling colonial systems. Watch this clip to hear what it really means, in his own words.
This is part of A Red Road to the West Bank, a documentary in development about Indigenous and Palestinian resistance.
We’re grassroots-funded—help us finish the film and get a keffiyeh as a thank-you gift.

They don’t want this film to exist.

We just got refused for our first grant application. Not surprising. In Canada—and around the world—making films about #Palestine is treated as taboo. We knew going into this that it would be an uphill battle. Canadian institutions don’t want to fund projects that expose Israel’s genocidal violence. They want silence. They want compliance.

But we’re not stopping. This film will be made.

It’s becoming clear that "A Red Road to the West Bank" may have to be 100% crowdfunded. And that’s fine. Because we’d rather make this film on our own terms than bow to institutions that refuse to speak the truth.

So we’re gearing up for more fundraisers, screenings, and community support. If you haven’t donated yet, or if you know someone who would stand behind a project like this, please share this link:

They won’t fund our resistance. But we will. ✊🔥
