Notes: I made this vid for thingswithwings's playlist "Colonization and its Discontents" for the wiscon_vidparty this year. This is a vid I'd been talking about making for a while, and I have a lot of feelings about it, which I might put in another post when I haven't been in a car for 13 hours.

Oh wow, this is fantastic! These movies had been favorites of my childhood, but revisiting them as an adult was a sobering and somewhat fraught experience. This deftly strips the pretense of heroism away, and shows the layered systems of oppression in brutal honesty. Thanks for sharing.
