Story Paths

Avatar 2: The Way of Whiteness


Listen Later

An unusual 'review' of this popular film, looking at why Hollywood film makers and many others are turning to indigenous culture for a sense of... well, culture?
This is less a review, and more a look into what the film says about settler culture in North America.
If you haven't seen the film you may still like this, but parts may make more sense if you've seen it.

If you'd like to see a film with similar themes that's far more creative, with a far lower budget, do check out Neptune Frost. You can see it on Kanopy, and you can get a membership to that through many libraries.

Also, Indigenous creator Elias Gold from the Native Media Theory Youtube channel made an excellent video about this film which you can find here.
