Coloring the Media (2008) Trailer

An investigative journey into the heartbeat of Indian Country. This film is about what it means to be Indian in the new millennium whilst dealing with the established prejudices, ignorance and portrayal by mainstream media with respect to people of color.
From the Neanderthal to the modern European this film charts the arrival of the Europeans into the western hemisphere and illustrates how their cultures and their systems would impact the lives of native people and continue to do so in todays society.
With haunting insights and voices of contemporary native people, this film is about discovering the truth behind the identity and reality as portrayed by mainstream media.
Its like bringing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle and letting the intelligence of viewers put these pieces together
This film is an anthem for those whose voices need to be heard and for those global audiences who still do not understand the cultures of the Americas.
By using a series of diverse film clips and archive provided by artists and filmmakers, Coloring the Media is an important and necessary truth for those wishing to undertake a journey of discovery.

Coming Soon in 2008

When watching this film I feel deepy moved by how Natives are still fighting after all the abuse they have been put through- the strength they have is so powerful.

I feel ashamed of being white and I realize that we are the generation were thing have to change.

You have made a most powerful film Carlisle

This is hard to watch without going through some heavy emotions..

Anger, through sadness to deep respect for what it is to live on this planet in these times.

To look at what has been done in the name of "progress, and the civilizing process"

To feel deep shame for the inhumanity of it all. When what is really needed is for us all to remember what it is Being Human.

Cant wait for the full video... beautiful to watch this project and how it has become a voice for change.
