 Is
the Crown at War with Us?
(2002, 96 min.) CANADA
Producer and director: Alanis Obomsawin (Abenaki)
Produced for: the National Film Board of Canada
In the summer of 2000, at Burnt Church Reserve, or Esgenoopetitj,
in New Brunswick's Miramichi Bay, Canadian federal fisheries officers
aggressively attacked a group of Mi'kmaq fishermen as they were
hauling in lobster traps. Examining the conflict and its complex
roots in the Native history of the Atlantic Coast, the film offers
a gripping portrait of a community under siege.
