In Whose Honor?
|
"A graphic and eloquent examination of racism in sports and so called 'higher education'. Catching bigotry at its most virulent, this film requires no interpretation -- it speaks directly to the problems without blinking."
MORE ABOUT THE FILM
RELATED FILMS |
The Cleveland Indians. Washington Redskins. Atlanta Braves. What's wrong with American Indian sports mascots? This moving, award-winning film is the first of its kind to address that subject. In Whose Honor? takes a critical look at the long-running practice of "honoring" American Indians as mascots and nicknames in sports. It follows the story of Native American mother Charlene Teters, and her transformation into the leader some are calling the "Rosa Parks of American Indians" as she struggles to protect her cultural symbols and identity. In Whose Honor? looks at the issues of racism, stereotypes, minority representation and the powerful effects of mass-media imagery, and the extent to which one university will go to defend and justify its mascot. SPECIAL FEATURES NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD! The DVD release includes three deleted scenes and an extended interview with activist & artist Charlene Teters. Appropriate for:
47 minutes • VHS
