Purpose
Why is Canada not funding Attawapiskat schools/education?
What is Canada doing to to help Attawapiskat education?
How can Shannen Koostachin’s dream help change the situation in Attawapiskat?

The target audience is the people of Canada and also the Government.

The filmmaker wants people the remember Shannon’s dream and also the difference between the education that most people have in Canada compared to the education in Attawapiskat. The filmmaker also wanted the viewers to remember the everyday struggles of the people of Attawapiskat, having to walk very far and sometimes live away from their families just to go to school.

Impact
I learned that people of any age can make a difference or make an impact, also how it is unfair for the First Nations people to have improper education.
This matters to me because that means when I am not agreeing with a certain situation or a …show more content…

The main interviews and narrations were from were mostly projected by the people of Attawapiskat. This is credibly because this documentary was based off of their story and their education. So it is basically their point of view or their experience.

Techniques
Interviews- This technique really let the people of Attawapiskat voice their opinion and how they felt/feel so the viewer can really get a grasp on the message or a good idea of what is going on.
Example: when Serena was explaining how her and Shannon had to leave their parents just to go to a proper school with proper education. Meaning that it was very difficult for them to just to go to school, while other kids outside of Attawapiskat can go to school without these problems.

Re-enactment- In the film it showed an re-enactment of how the kids go to school in Attawapiskat. This shows the people of how difficult or the struggles these kids have just to go to school. Also it demonstrates the difference in levels of teaching between the schools outside of

    Though the film mentioned the impact that residential schools had and still has on the aboriginal people, I felt that this issue needed to be stressed further because the legacy of the schools is still extremely prominent in aboriginal communities today. The film refers to the fact that residential schools harmed the aboriginal people because they were not able to learn their culture, which has resulted in the formation of internalized oppression within in the group. “The...

    In some ways, Kellie’s depiction was entirely bias and unfair, as to the choice of footage used; there was no indication of the various charities that aim to alleviate poverty within Australia, including: Salvos, Anglicare and St Vincent de Paul. This is entirely symbolic of how the media falsely depicts those in poverty, with the pure aim of entertaining the audience, showing a complete lack of empathy. Similarly, the concept of disrespect was evident in tourists that we saw at the public restaurants we visited throughout the journey; some were excessively drinking, whilst others were littering or using obscene language at local Khmer people. From a personal perspective, a lack of understanding between any individuals, whether they are disadvantaged or advantaged, contradicts Christian values and ideals, making the producer and the other tourists somewhat disrespectful and uncompassionate towards the Mt Druitt and Cambodian community

    Specific elements of the storyline that display the theme racism include: the display of animalistic treatment, enforced religious practices, and historical comparisons. The film reveals the overarching government belief that the white race is smarter and purer, to the inferior, uncivilized and misguided, darker-skinned, Aboriginals. This belief is demonstrated throughout the film and signifies the government’s attitudes toward the half-caste race as: uncivilized animals that need a trainer to discipline them. For example, the film shows the girls being transported like livestock to th...

  • Recapping Two Course Documents

    1226 Words  | 3 Pages

    During this course, I had the opportunity to watch several documentaries that enlightened men on different perspectives of cultural diversity. These documentaries contained a variety of different methods used to examine several cultural diversity issues within America. Racism, sexism, ageism, and social class were the main topics that were examined in these videos and documentaries. As part of the process, researchers creatively designed experiments that uncovered how people instinctively respond when it is not apparent that they are being watched. Reports such as these must be carefully crafted and presented in an objective manner. If critical steps are overlooked, this kind of research tactic can easily been interpreted as intrusive, dishonest, bias, or unethical. That might ultimately defeat the purpose and distract the viewer from understanding, and that may become counter-productive to the message the researcher is attempting to convey. All documentaries presented were necessary for us to gain a true consideration of the cultural diversity issues this country faces. Some documentaries contained the element of surprise by using hidden camera tactics. It is no secret that cameras have a tendency to change individuals’ attitudes, if they are conscious of the fact that they are being filmed. Though all of the video and documentaries were impactful, the two documentaries that had the most impact on my learning were:

    Jock Sturges once said, “Different members of different cultures will think that some things are beautiful,” which is representative of the perspective and feeling I accumulated throughout examining the film. The Nanook of the North encompassed the broad distinction of self-reliance, life styles, and something in reference to other cultures. The distinction of the one culture, the Eskimos, amongst others emphasized the unique elements that define variation we experience that we come to appreciate or think are “beautiful.” The variation I observed made me self-reflect on our culture and the effects it creates on our opinions.
