Blankets for Indians

About This Movie

So, ‘Blankets for Indians’ is a curious little piece from 2012 that captures something raw and organic. It juxtaposes the tranquil water spurting from the City Hall fountain with the fervor of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The film has this almost meditative quality, and then it shifts into this visceral chaos of protest. It’s fascinating how Jacobs just happened to pivot the lens - you feel like you're there, part of that palpable energy. The pacing is interesting too, moving between the serene and the chaotic, creating a unique atmospheric tension. It’s like a snapshot of a moment in time, blending the mundane with the political, and that’s what makes it stand out.

‘Blankets for Indians’ is one of those titles that can slip under the radar, especially since the director remains unknown. It’s not widely circulated on traditional formats, which adds to its charm and collectibility. Fans of experimental documentaries might find it intriguing, but it hasn't reached a fever pitch among collectors yet. Keeping an eye out at niche film festivals or small distribution houses could yield a gem, but you might need to dig a bit deeper to find it.
