Franklin LópezOK I swear this is the last post I’ll make about the Oka Crisis this year… but it’s important to remember.
Alanis Obomsawin’s Kanehsatà:ke: 270 Years of Resistance didn’t just blow my mind — it shaped the way I approach filmmaking. It showed me that a film could be more than a record — it could be a weapon. A document of resistance that outlives the moment and keeps feeding the fire.
I wrote up some thoughts about that, and shared a few pieces I’ve made over the years about the so-called Oka Crisis — clips with Clifton Nicholas, Gord Hill and Ellen Gabriel.

Reflections on Resistance: 35 Years Since the Siege of Kanehsatà:ke | Amplifier Films
To mark 35 years since the siege of Kanehsatà:ke, I’m sharing some reflections on how Kanehsatà:ke: 270 Years of Resistance shaped my own filmmaking — along with a selection of clips I’ve produced over the years to honor the legacy of the so-called Oka Crisis and the power of Indigenous resistance. From Gord Hill to Ellen Gabriel to the Warrior Flag itself, these films are meant to document, remember, and inspire.
