Japan is starting to reconcile its own issues regarding Indigenous people. The Ainu people have called Hokkaido – home for thousands of years, but it wasn’t until the 2010s that the Japanese government finally recognized them as the region’s “official” indigenous culture. "Songs of Kamui" is based on a true story of one Ainu lady who faced this discrimination. We will screen this film again at Global Stage Hollywood in November 2024.
