I Want to Know Why (1994)
The videomaker investigates the women in her family who have succumbed prematurely to external forces of racism and poverty. Using repetition and manipulation of western images of First Nations culture with an at first timid, then demanding voice-over, the video moves through sorrow and indignation with the processes of cultural genocide.
