3 Indian Tales
2014 Canadian film
3 Indian Tales (French: 3 histoires d'indiens) is a Canadian docufiction film, directed by Robert Morin and released in 2014.[1]
Using a cast of non-professional actors, the film tells three stories of First Nations youth: Erik wants to open a community television station, Shayne listens to classical music as he travels to a mining site, Shandy-Ève and Marie-Claude pray to Saint Kateri Tekakwitha.[2] Morin made the film with the goal of encouraging viewers to reconsider their prejudices of First Nations by dramatizing the stories of real youth who are not falling into the stereotypes, but instead are engaged and ambitious and living with passion and purpose.[3] He shot the film with indigenous youth from the Kitcisakik and Lac-Simon reserves in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of Quebec.[3]
The film premiered at the 2014 Berlin Film Festival.[4]
