Alanis Obomsawin: The Vision of a Native Filmmaker by Randolph Lewis
“Most Americans probably do not know that Canada has an oft-distinguished film industry. . . . Here
Lewis goes some way toward redressing this oversight by discussing the career of a documentary filmmaker who is a double rarity: a member of a First Nations tribe (one of the Canadian indigenous peoples) and a woman. . . . Lewis relates the story of this remarkable woman in conventional chronological order, with ample biographical data and a detailed analysis of her oeuvre and its impact on Canadian society. . . . [T]his is a welcome addition to a long-neglected part of cinema literature.” —Library Journal (4/15/06)
