“Loving in the wrong way”

A documentary film project directed by Red Haircrow on Native stereotypes and their connection to racism, colonialism, and deep societal issues.

24 May 2019 – We have a screening and Q&A of our #documentary "Forget Winnetou! Loving in the Wrong Way" at ista – Institut für den Situationsansatz in #Berlin #Kreuzberg. _ Winner of the Audience Award at Refugees Welcome Film Festival 2018 in Berlin and official selection in 10 others, our film focuses on what is usually ignored: Native perspective of those living in Germany. It will be followed by a discussion and Q&A. _ Synopsis: "The same mentality that ignores indigenous rights to self-representation are often those who also stereotypes and gaslight GLBTIIQ people, women's rights, the disabled or economically challenged, especially BIPOC just for desiring change and equality. It is basically saying, "My gratification is more important than your dignity, your rights or even your life." This is a main facet of rape culture. It is intersecting oppression. _ Most films about Natives concentrate on European narratives or indigenous experience in North America but there are Natives abroad and being “loved in the wrong way” in “Indian crazy” #Germany has many forms and effects. _ 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'." _ Film is English and German audio, with German subtitles. _ **This is a free event, seating may be limited. _ **Learn more about the film & if you are interested in a screening at your location: https://forgetwinnetou.com/ _ **View the latest trailer and other videos here: https://vimeo.com/forgetwinnetou _ **Learn more about the local and host organization, to register and for contact about specific details on the location and event: https://situationsansatz.de/dialog.html _ Facebook event page https://www.facebook.com/events/351290002192393/ _ Photos by Red Haircrow and Viveka Frost.
