Remove "Of the North" from Museum of the Moving Image film festival & Other Film Festivals

Not cool. REALLY not cool.

This racist movie should be censored

Not right..

Please Don't show this film. Thanks.

Friggin jerk should come and spend some time out here before making a documentary. Asshole!

This has to be removed!

This film deserves no audience.

The filmmaker, who never lived in Nunavut, edited publically available material to convey a highly-selective view of Innuit life. This view reflects his own personal prejudices, rather than how Innus see themselves. As such, this movie is more about Mr. Gagnon's own negative prejudices than about anything else and has no artistic merit whatsoever.

Please remove this film from your festibal.

Please don't show this racist irresponsible film. Why the filmmaker is so blithe about knowing info about the Inuit people only from a 1922 film Nanook of the North (largely staged and not representative of Our country is currently engaged in a truth and reconciliation process, a reckoning of the heinous mistreatment of Indigenous children as young as four, taken against their parents will, held in residential schools that were essentially prison camps, routinely physically abused, sexually abused, shorn of their hair, stripped of their pride and traditions and culture, torn from their language so completely that they could not speak to their own parents if and when they were returned home. Almost 25% died before being able to return - a higher death rate than soldiers in WWI. Then indigenous ppl were told to "get over it" - generations surely who suffered PTSD, broken humiliated traumatized families - get over it and yet also simultaneously accept being third class citizens. Get over it, with racist ideas and inaccuracies perpetuated in place of their actual traditions, their established democratic societies. The Inuit, a people deeply connected to the land and the hunt, an entirely self sufficient ppl of the far north interfered with and made dependent on imported food from the south, where lettuce costs $40 and bottled water $80, and the land itself permanently impacted and the delicate balance of the north destroyed by climate change, faster than anyone expected. Animals too starved to hunt - and this, an entirely self-sufficient traditional culture into the 60s. In less than a generation they've seen traditional ways destroyed. Truth and Reconciliation is as much for - maybe more - for non-Indigenous Canadians, as we grapple with the brutal history, lies, structural racism **upon which our good fortune rests** It is yet another act violence to perpetuate yet more lies, stereotypes and violence of representation in this film, to perpetuate new and

This should be removed!!! Racist bastards!

Please do not show this movie

STOP THE FILMS!

Petition has reached 300 signatures!

Please remove "Of the North" from your film festival. It Is highly unprofessional because it uses copyrighted material without permission. Worse, it uses this material to promote harmful stereotypes of Inuit people and their culture. Please do not give this film or its director an audience. Thank you.

Remove this film. .. Its racist trash.

The Inuit community is already scarcely authentically known to outside communities; we do not need ignorant stereotypes presented as fact to mislead them even more. This film sounds like propaganda; please do not spead the ignorance!

We are not your stereotype!

There is much too much racism against Inuit people already. Don't add to it.

This is disgusting.
