"Memorias del territorio": cine indígena y memoria colectiva en Zaragoza
#AWFF2025 | #Yintah muestra la lucha de la nación Wet’suwet’en contra la explotación de su tierra ancestral. Con escenas de bloqueos, enfrentamientos y voces indígenas, refleja la tensión entre pacifismo y resistencia. Aunque su ritmo lento exige paciencia, la película impacta por su belleza visual y relevancia social, dejando un testimonio potente de la lucha indígena y su punto de vista sobre territorio y justicia.
Crítica de Laura Zurita:

The other night I watched the powerful #Yintah, about one of the most important Indigenous land-protection struggles in the world today, resisting the oil pipelines that #Canada wants to put through Wet’suwet’en land.
Highly recommended:

Promítání filmů a diskuze -- "YINTAH, a decade of Wet'suwet'en Resistance"

Film screening of “YINTAH” & discussion on decolonial resistance in unceeded Wet’Suwet’en territory in so-called “Canada” YINTAH - meaning “land” - is a feature-length documentary on the Wet’suwet’en fight for sovereignty. The film follows Howilhkat Freda Huson and Sleydo’ Molly Wickham as their nation reoccupies and protects their ancestral lands from several of the largest fossil fuel companies on earth. “YINTAH is about an anti-colonial resurgence—a fierce and ongoing fight for Indigenous and human rights in the face of a colonial government committed to seizing lands at gunpoint. Wet’suwet’en land is unceded: There is no treaty, no bill of sale, or no surrender placing the land under Canadian authority. In 1997, the Dinï ze’ and Tsakë ze’ (Hereditary Chiefs) of the Wet’suwet’en people proved in Canada’s top court that they had never given up ownership to 22,000 km2 of land. Yet, despite this court ruling, Canada has authorized fossil fuel giants to build pipelines across Wet’suwet’en land. The result: a decade long clash between Wet’suwet’en land defenders and Canadian police seeking to seize Wet’suwet’en land at gunpoint. YINTAH is the story of the Indigenous right to sovereignty over Indigenous territories and of centuries-long fight to protect their children, culture, and land from colonial violence.” We will screen the film then have a discussion and q & a with visiting supporters of the Wet’suwet’en on the topic of anarchist solidarity with Indigenous decolonial struggle in Canada. Film & discussion will be in English with English subtitles. *Content warning: the film contains depictions of militarized police violence against Indigenous people and allies, including attack dogs, arrests, and physical force.

In the summer of 2011, I was utterly spent—physically, mentally, creatively—after hauling my film END:CIV across North America. When I returned to Vancouver, I had no place to live, so I did what many DIY filmmakers do: I moved into my van. Then came an invitation that changed everything: members of the Unist’ot’en Clan asked me to screen my film on #Wetsuweten territory.
So I piled some anarchist friends into my old camper and headed north, not realizing I was about to witness—and document—a legendary fight against pipelines on the #yintah. This is my story...

@franklinlopez has spent over a decade documenting #Wetsuweten land defense—starting with a single cabin on the #yintah and following the movement as it grew into a powerful symbol of resistance. In this new article, he reflects on how community-focused, rapidly released media has helped protect the land and build solidarity across Turtle Island. Read his reflections to learn why these stories matter now more than ever—and how grounded, hands-on filmmaking can support real change.
