Forget Winnetou! Loving in the Wrong Way
Dir. Red Haircrow
Documentary
Germany/USA, 2017
Duration 70'
The same mentality that ignores Indigenous rights to self-representation are often those who also stereotype and gaslight GLBTIIQ people, women, the disabled or economically challenged, especially people of color, just for desiring change and equality. It is basically saying, 'My gratification is more important than your dignity, your rights or even your life.' Germany is a microcosm of struggles taking place across western society both against and for decolonization; for correcting white privilege, supremacist belief and a patriarchal mentality that’s divided and helped destroy cultures, peoples and our world. We explore the roots of racism, colonialism, and appropriation in Germany from a rarely considered perspective: the Native American they adore.
