7:00pm: Red Fever (1:44:00)

Red Fever is a witty and entertaining feature documentary about the profound yet hidden Indigenous influence on Western culture and identity.

The film follows Cree co-director Neil Diamond as he asks, "Why do they love us so much?" and sets out on a journey to find out why the world is so fascinated with the stereotypical imagery of Native people that is all over pop culture.

Why have Indigenous cultures been revered, romanticized, and appropriated for so long, and to this day? Red Fever uncovers the surprising truths behind the imagery so buried in history that even most Native people don't know about them.

Directed by Neil Diamond (Cree, Waskaganish community), Catherine Bainbridge
