For his second feature film, the Corsican director set up his cameras in several regions of the island of beauty. The storyline follows the pressures the mafia puts on a goat breeder.

The Aléria gendarmerie attacked by hooded demonstrators, police officers who respond with tear gas grenades, shouts of anger, this very realistic sequence is in fact only a fictional scene. The extras take part in the filming of the next film of Frederic Farrucci.

The director has just finished filming his second film, A Mohican. And it’s at home, in Corsica, that all the action takes place.

The story ofA Mohican tells of the pressures that the Corsican mafia puts on a shepherd to recover his land and transform it into a real estate project. The universal battle of the pot of earth against the pot of iron anchored on the island territory and shot in the style of a contemporary western. “It’s the story of a man who says ‘no’ in relation to the ambient movement, in relation to the evolution of our society. He doesn’t have a political speech, he just says ‘no, that doesn’t’ is not possible for me’”, explains director Frédéric Farrucci.

The issues of speculation and mafia pressure recur throughout the film. For the director, dealing with current issues constitutes the very essence of the 7th art. “It is the role of cinema to address societal issues. If there is not a political imprint in cinema, it does not interest me. For me, treating contemporary Corsica is something essential in this fiction”, he…

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — This November kicks off Native American Heritage Month.

The Native American Indian Association of Tennessee (NAIATN) said this month and every month, they want to embrace their culture and educate others about it.

Shayna Hobbs, part of the organization, adds Native people may be connecting to people now more than ever.

“We don’t have to be ashamed of who we are. We don’t have to hide who we are,” said Hobbs.

Young Native Americans are using TikTok, Instagram, and various other apps to show their traditions and celebrate who they are.

Hobbs, of the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican tribe, said although Tennessee does not have any reservations, Native people are still in your cities, on your screens, and involved in the community.

“I think it’s really, really important for Native people to reclaim our narrative and tell our story from our perspective,” she said.

She added that another way they are hoping to connect is through a future cultural center in Southeast Nashville along Bell Road.

NAIATN has owned the land near Antioch for decades, and it’s a place where they hope to one day gather as a group, celebrate their own and educate non-Natives.

“To actually have a space for Native people for the first time in history since they were removed is really huge.”

They say with donations and increased awareness, they can make it happen.

“People are curious and they want to do the right thing. They want to help, they want to be made aware, they want to educate themselves,” she said.

You can donate, volunteer, or learn more about their vision for the land here.

“You and I are the same. So… who’s the monster?” Marvel has revealed the first trailer for a gritty, dark new Marvel Studios streaming series called Echo, arriving for streaming January 2024. This is a sort-of sequel to the Hawkeye series, more of a spin-off following a different character on her own adventures. After the events in Hawkeye in New York, Maya Lopez returns to her hometown in Oklahoma, where she must come to terms with her past, reconnect with her Native American roots, and embrace her family and community. She’s pursued by Wilson Fisk’s (Vincent D’Onofrio) criminal empire coming after revenge. Alaqua Cox (Menominee / Mohican) stars as Maya Lopez, with a cast including Chaske Spencer, Graham Greene, Tantoo Cardinal, Devery Jacobs, Zahn McClarnon, and Cody Lightning. All five episodes will be released in January, making Echo the first series from Marvel Studios to make all eps available to binge in one day. That doesn’t seem like a good sign. But this footage does look pretty badass. Maybe it will be good?

Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for Marvel’s Echo, direct from Marvel’s YouTube:

“No bad deed goes unpunished.” Following the events seen in the Hawkeye series (2021) in New York City, Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) return to her hometown where she must come to terms with her past, reconnect with her Native American roots, and embrace her family and community.

PBS worked closely with educators, students, scriptwriters, story consultants, voiceover, art, music talent, and advisors, along with collaboration from the Stockbridge-Munsee community and approval from the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians Tribal Council to provide an animated video, a digital book with audio, a gallery of historical images, and an educator guide.

PBS Wisconsin Education Director Megan Monday showed gratitude towards the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans Indians Community, especially Monique Tyndall, director of the tribal nation’s cultural affairs office, along with many other contributors.

“We couldn’t have done justice to the Electa Quinney story without the deep collaboration from the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Community,” Monday said in a press release. “Working directly with the community ensured historical and representational accuracy and enhanced the art and storytelling of the resources.”

Funding for “Wisconsin Biographies: Electa Quinney” is…

A 4-year-old boy named Henry Coulson from Whitburn, decided to get his long locks chopped off, in order to help three cancer charities.

Henry had never had his hair cut in his life, and had managed to grow long Blonde curls all the way down his back.

However, after growing his hair to an exceptional length, Henry asked his mother if he could get a cool new haircut.

Henry’s mother, Karen Fairlie said she was originally shocked that Henry wanted to cut off his hair, especially since he asked for a Sharkie Boys hair cut which is essentially a mohican.

“Obviously I said no we are not doing that!” Karen laughed. “We’re not going from goldilocks to a mohican!”

However the mother and son compromised on a very cute, short hair style, which was cut by Nicola Wilkes from hairdressing salon Clipperz, in Whitburn.

Karen did not want Henry’s long locks to go to waste, and after a close friend of hers was diagnosed with cancer, she decided not only to donate Henry’s hair to be made into wigs, but also raise money for cancer charities.

Karen explained: “To donate to The Little Princess Trust all you need to do is cut the hair while it is tied into a…
