Nuuca

Generation 14plus 2018

In contemplative shots, the camera takes in the landscape of North Dakota – Indigenous country – , until the images are shattered by the hard metallic screeching of drilling rigs. A decade ago the oil industry moved in to exploit the region, bringing along a horde of itinerant hired hands. With reverent clarity, Michelle Latimer reveals the direct connection between the plundering of Mother Nature and violence against the women and girls of the Indigenous population.
