Quote:
"Bastion Point Day 507 [New Zealand] [and] Incident at Restigouche [Canada] [...] were often paired on the festival circuit and are among the most important films in contemporary Indigenous cinema. Directors Merata Mita and Alanis Obomsawin seemingly willed Indigenous cinema into life with these two endlessly fascinating historical documents."
