Power

About This Movie

Power is one of those documentaries that digs deep into the heart of a conflict. It's not just about the hydroelectric project; it's about the people. The Cree's struggle against Hydro-Québec is portrayed with an intimacy that pulls you in. Matthew Coon Come's presence really stands out, and the way they cover the environmental activism alongside indigenous rights gives you a fuller picture of what's at stake. The pacing feels genuine, allowing the tension to build naturally as the stakes rise. You get this raw glimpse into the complexities of power, both literally and figuratively. It's a film that resonates with themes of resistance and resilience, and the practical effects are mostly in the stories told and faces shown, which makes it all the more impactful.
