SUMMARY:People of the Kattawapiskak River\; People of the Kattawapiskak Riv
 er: Six Months Later
DESCRIPTION:Alanis Obomsawin\n2012 | 50 min\n\n\n\nThe people of the Atta
 wapiskat First Nation\, a Cree community in northern Ontario\, were thrust
  into the national spotlight in 2012 when the impoverished living conditio
 ns on their reserve became an issue of national debate. With The People o
 f the Kattawapiskak River\, Abenaki director Alanis Obomsawin quietly atte
 nds as community members tell their own story\, shedding light on a histor
 y of dispossession and official indifference. “Obomsawin’s main object
 ive is to make us see the people of Attawapiskat differently\,” said Rob
 ert Everett-Green in The Globe &amp\; Mail. “The emphasis\, ultimately\,
  is not so much on looking as on listening—the first stage in changing t
 he conversation\, or in making one possible.” Winner of the 2013 Donald 
 Brittain Award for Best Social/Political Documentary\, the film is part of
  a cycle of films that Obomsawin has made on children’s welfare and righ
 ts.\n\n\n\n\nAlanis Obomsawin\n2012 | 6 min\n\n\n\nSix months following 
 the events of her documentary The People of the Kattawapiskak River\, Ala
 nis Obomsawin returns to the Cree community of Attawapiskat in northern On
 tario\, whose severe housing crisis in 2011 made international headlines. 
 While the public outcry resulted in some short-term relief for the most in
  need\, Obomsawin reveals that the crisis persists in the isolated First N
 ation. Relief homes sent to the community are not equipped to deal with th
 e harsh winter\, as overcrowding and homelessness remain daily realities. 
 Despite their ordeals\, the residents of Attawapiskat remain strong\, unit
 ed in love and a belief that a better future must be achieved.\n\n\n\n&nbs
