Virtual Documentary Night: Kanehsatake - 270 Years of Resistance [Voting Night]

Hosted by Vegan Social Clubs
**YOU MUST WATCH THE FILM ON YOUR OWN BEFORE THIS EVENT**
For this Virtual Documentary Night we have voted to talk about the documentary, [Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance](https://documentarynight.wordpress.com/2026/07/26/kanehsatake-270-years-of-resistance/). In July 1990, a dispute over a proposed golf course to be built on Kanien’kéhaka (Mohawk) lands in Oka, Quebec, set the stage for a historic confrontation that would grab international headlines and sear itself into the Canadian consciousness. Again, you must watch the film before attending this event. Here is a link to where you can watch the film for free.

This is a Voting Night, which means at the end of the night we brainstorm and vote to decide as a group what we will watch the following month, so please come ready with your recommendation. The only requirement is that the film must be available to watch online for free. If you need any ideas, you can search through the Flyers Page on the Community Documentary Night website. It is full of flyers based around certain themes and each flyer is full of documentary posters, which are hyperlinked to where you watch the films for free. Something to consider is that next month is September, which is National Hispanic Heritage Month, September 1st is Labor Day, and September 21st is the International Day of Peace. Check out the [National Hispanic Heritage Month](https://documentarynight.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/september-hispanic-heritage-2026a.pdf), [Labor Day](https://documentarynight.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/labor-day-2025e.pdf), and [International Day of Peace](https://documentarynight.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/international-day-of-peace-2025c.pdf) flyers if you're interested in recommending a film in honor of these holidays.
