🧣✨ Keffiyehs for Solidarity ✨🧣

We’re excited to share that we’ve restocked our keffiyehs—perfect for rocking your solidarity on the streets. Thanks to a generous grant, we’ve been able to lower the price so that most of every dollar goes directly to support our friend, a Palestinian shopkeeper and his family in the West Bank.

🎥 A portion of proceeds will also help fund our in-progress documentary Red Road to the Palestine, amplifying stories of Indigenous & Palestinian resilience.

💰 Prices start at just $20

🌱 Every keffiyeh you wear helps keep grassroots solidarity alive—from Kanesatake to the Palestine.

12 days, thousands of kilometers dodging potholes and cynical corporate PR—from Nehirowisiw Territory to Kanehsatake, swing through Wemotaci, then Mashteuiatsh—just to film land defenders giving CN and the clear-cutting psychopaths the one-finger salute. This clip, They Stopped the Train to Defend the Forest, is a taste of our full doc Defenders of the Forest, dropping soon and free for your solidarity screenings. Stay woke (LOL) and check 🔗 https://amplifierfilms.ca — this isn’t tourism, it’s frontline Indigenous resistance.

Bon, 12 jours à parcourir le soi-disant Québec dans tous les sens – Camp Souveraineté, Kanesatake, Wemotaci, retour à Camp Souveraineté, puis hop, Terre Inu, et enfin Mashteuiatsh – juste pour voir des actes de résistance autochtone badass contre l’avidité forestière. Premier épisode de notre série vidéo, et je vous préviens : ça va dépoter. Montage complet en docu bientôt.

Ne vous inquiétez pas, demain la version anglaise débarque. Et évidemment tout est en français… sauf la partie qui sera en anglais demain, parce que oui, je suis un génie de la logique linguistique. 😉

En juillet 2025, des défenseur·e·s de la terre innu·e·s et nehirowisiw·e·s, membres de l’Alliance MAMO, ont bloqué les voies ferrées du Canadien National entre la Mauricie et l’Abitibi pour stopper l’extraction massive de bois sur leurs territoires non cédés. Malgré la présence policière, les blocus sont restés pacifiques, ancrés dans une volonté de protection du territoire et de la forêt boréale. Amplifier Films était sur place, à Wemotaci et Mashteuiatsh, pour documenter cette action de souveraineté autochtone.

🎬 Restez à l’écoute pour notre documentaire à venir : Les défenseur·e·s de la forêt

OK 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.

Check it out here:

🚫 So we just caught another “thanks but no thanks” from a grant we applied to for our next film A Red Road to the West Bank—a journey into Indigenous resistance from Turtle Island to Palestine.

But fuck it. We’re not waiting around for institutions to decide if our stories are worth telling. We got a fresh batch of keffiyehs, straight from Palestinians in Syria via a homie in the West Bank, and this is how we’re gonna fund this film—through real-deal solidarity, not nonprofit begging bowls.

We’ve got black & white (classics), red, green, blue, and yo—RAINBOW keffiyehs. Only 9 of those exist, so if you want one, move fast.

💥 Go to https://amplifierfilms.ca, click the Keffiyehs link, drop a donation for A Red Road to the West Bank, and tell us which color you want in the notes. If we’ve still got it, it’s yours.

Half the cash goes to support the Palestinian vendor and his fam. The other half helps us get this radical-ass film made.

What does a kid hurling himself into the Mediterranean in occupied Palestine have in common with a Mohawk kid diving into the river at Kanehsatà:ke?

Everything.

Joy stolen between airstrikes.
Freedom found between raids.
Laughter echoing off the water while the land beneath is colonized.

This clip is from our next film, A Red Road to the West Bank — a journey of solidarity between Indigenous struggle and Palestinian resistance. Between memory and the now. Between all of us who refuse to be erased.

🎥 Watch it.

Decolonization ain't a buzzword. It’s about land, power, and burning down the systems that keep us in chains. In this clip, Gord Hill lays it out plain—what it is, and what it’s not.

This is a piece of A Red Road to the West Bank, a film we’re building from the ground up, no studio strings, no NGO fluff—just raw, frontline resistance from Turtle Island to Palestine.

Kick in a few bucks, get a keffiyeh, and help us finish this thing.

Been thinking a lot about how many filmmakers sit on footage while the world burns. So I made a talk about it.

🎤 Smash the Gatekeepers is a straight-up challenge to the way media is made and hoarded. It's about making films for movements—not festivals. About releasing footage now, when it matters.

I draw from 20+ years in the trenches with subMedia, Wet’suwet’en, Mi’kmaq, and struggles from Australia to Japan.

If you’re part of a campus, collective, or crew that wants to talk about how to make media that actually supports resistance, hit me up.

🚧 New Clip Dropped 🚧

Colonial control ain't a thing of the past—it’s alive and well in places like the #WestBank and #Gaza. In this short video, Indigenous historian and artist Gord Hill breaks down how settler states—from Canada to Israel—use the same old tactics: divide, isolate, and dominate.

Same playbook, different lands.

And hey—support the film and get a keffiyeh as a thank-you. Details at the link.|

Nothing hits like a barbecue, especially when it’s about good salmon and even better company. That’s why I came thousands of miles to Coast Salish Territories, aka Seattle, to get a taste of some freshly caught Coho from the Quilcene River, grilled to perfection. This isn’t your average cookout. This is the Salish Sea Assembly, an unapologetic, hard-hitting gathering of land defenders, artists, and radicals from across Turtle Island, hosted by Savage Fam’s Ant-Loc and fearless land defender Kanahus Manuel.

Check out my video report to see what went down.
