We took a break from filming in Nehirowisiw territory (also known as Nitaskinan, homeland of the Atikamekw) for our upcoming documentary Guardians of the Forest to meet with Rehab Nazzal—who first met Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas in 2016 when she served as an activist guide during his visit to Bethlehem and the occupied West Bank. This time, Clifton was able to return the gesture by welcoming her to Kanehsatà:ke and sharing the land with her alongside longtime land defender and Siege of Kanehsatà:ke veteran Ellen Gabriel. It was a powerful exchange between communities separated by geography but united in struggle. 🎥 Stay tuned for more rough cuts from A Red Road to the West Bank, and keep an eye out for Guardians of the Forest—a documentary-in-the-making about the ongoing fight to protect Nehirowisiw lands.

 In this quiet reflection, Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas from Kanehsatà:ke walks the streets of Bethlehem and sees something familiar. Despite the occupation that surrounds them, people live. They laugh, open their shops, weave through markets. Life goes on—not because the conditions are easy, but because refusing to disappear is a kind of resistance. A Red Road to the West Bank is a documentary-in-progress exploring the deep connections between Indigenous resistance in Turtle Island and Palestinian struggles for liberation. Grounded in lived experience, the film follows Clifton’s journey to Palestine and the echoes he found there. Support the project and help us complete this work: 👉

Why Do Warriors Wear Masks? 🎙️ Narrated by Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas In this powerful reflection, an Indigenous warrior explains why masks have become a necessary part of resistance. Drawing on the lessons of the 1973 Wounded Knee uprising and the violence that followed, the speaker details how state surveillance and repression made anonymity a matter of survival. After Wounded Knee, those who stood up were systematically targeted—by the FBI and hired goons. The mask is not a gimmick or a symbol—it’s armor. This clip delves into the security culture developed by Indigenous movements to protect communities, maintain operational safety, and safeguard the individuals behind the struggle. It underscores the strategic use of pseudonyms and collective identities as tools to ensure that resistance can continue without repression destroying it from within. Ultimately, “Why Do Warriors Wear Masks?” is not just about hiding faces—it's about preserving the movement and honoring those who came before.
Fuck Canada Day. Support Anti-Colonial Media. Yeah, we know—it’s Canada Day. A day when this colonial state pats itself on the back with fireworks and maple-washed history books. But for many of us, it’s a day of mourning, resistance, and truth-telling. At Amplifier Films, we’re not here to celebrate genocide wrapped in red and white. We’re a crew made up of people from colonized lands—Kanien’kehá:ka Territory, Borikén, and beyond—and we’ve dedicated our work to tearing down colonial lies and amplifying the real stories of land defense, past and present. From the forests of so-called Canada to the streets of occupied Palestine, we bring you radical media from the front lines. That means real stories. Real resistance. Real decolonial politics. No filters. No apologies. We’ve got two major projects right now that need your support: 🔥 Red Road to the West Bank – Following Indigenous land defenders from Turtle Island connecting with Palestinian resistance on the ground.
