Seventy-five dollars to rent a movie strikes me as unconscionably
stiff. There are few books at that price and, when I buy one, I get
to keep it. What a shame this very attractive movie will be so
little-seen and hardly known because of the---I was going to say
'prohibitive'---risible expectation of the distributor.

any movie, even 15 minute ones, have outrageous rental and purchase prices. I have a catalogue from Shenandoah Films, which is Native owned. Nothing against the company, here. It is just that many movies are questionable as far as authenticity. I have reviewed a few, and someone actually bought some before I came into my current program. Lots of new-age guys passing along "traditional teachings". A few halfway decent attempts, but film quality is poor. Some are just bad, period. None worth that kind of money given that it is usually only our programs that would be interested in seeing these. I really liked one with a couple of young boys addressing the mascot issue and racism, but it was only 20 minutes long, a good length for classroom use. But too shallow for workable discussion and no real suggested impact except that it is hard to address these issues. I fear that too many of these movies have non-Native producers putting in horrid canned muzak with Native non-actors. A shame we don't have mor
e Native movie studios. I understand the need to pass along costs, but who gets the money and does it help Natives?

WMM is not-for-profit, though I suppose some salaries
could be a bit steep... I do know Bullfrog Films has
to charge a great deal as well, they are a wonderful
small distributor of environmental films. I usually
can't even get films from the US distributor of the
Canadian Film Board unless I'm an educator (I am not,
formally that is). I believe it's the small
distributor who subsidises inventory with a higher
price. Just my guess.
