Alanis Obomsawin – The Collection: 270 Years of Resistance includes 3 DVDs with 4 digitally-remastered films made between 1993 and 2000: Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance, My Name is Kahentiiosta, Spudwrench Kahnawake Man and Rocks at Whiskey Trench, along with a 100-page booklet of essays and background information.

The box sets will go the first two people who comment on this blog post. Please don’t include any personal information with your comment – the email address you use to log in is enough.

The contest is open to Canadian residents only.

Good luck!

  1. Are any of those box sets left?
    What an amazing lady. She is such an inspiration to me. A legacy of humanity shared by her artist gifts. I had the opportunity to meet her on Victoria Island. A friend introduced me to her because I am a photographer interested in various causes. I have since viewed several of her films and I am humbled to have met such an extraordinary artist. Richard Cardinal doc made me cry.
