Amá Documentary Screening
Join us for a powerful and important special screening of the documentary Amá, presented in collaboration with the Widoktadwen Center for Native Knowledge. This deeply moving film, the result of nine years of careful and sensitive work by filmmaker Lorna Tucker, reveals the untold story of the forced sterilization and systemic abuses committed against Native American women by the U.S. government during the 1960s and 70s. Featuring personal testimonies from Native women who bravely share their experiences, the documentary addresses very sensitive and difficult content, including themes of involuntary medical procedures, loss, and resilience.
This event offers a unique opportunity to learn about a painful chapter in history that is rarely discussed but essential to understanding the impacts of colonialism and government policies on Native communities. We encourage attendees to approach the screening with respect and reflection, and please be aware that some material may be emotionally challenging.
This meaningful program is part of RPM’s commitment to amplifying Indigenous voices and fostering awareness about cultural and historical truths. We welcome you to join us for this important experience.
