This week, we start with an interview with Clifton Ariwakhete Nicholas and Franklin Lopez about about the film currently in production via Amplifier Films, A Red Road To The West Bank: An Indigenous journey of resistance and solidarity. The conversation covers some about relationships between the people of occupied Palestine and Kanehsatà:ke in so-called Canada, histories of settler colonialism and resistance of it.
Franklin also talks about his recently published kids book “The mega-adventures of Koko Sisi & Kiki Pupu” that he co-created with his son.
