Chants de la détermination (2009)

Three native artists use voice, rhythms, samples and guitar riffs to cut through big 'P' politics to reveal a vibrant native music scene while exposing the realities and struggles in their communities. As resistance grows across Indian country, this film about music, art and politics pulls aboriginal stories from the back pages and puts them squarely at the front of the stage. Their work becomes a powerful source of strength, cultural renewal and political awareness for members of their community. For the broader public, these artists move people to dance, cry, think and act, all the while becoming more aware of the concerns facing First Nations peoples today while challenging their perceptions of what it means to be Native.
