We can bash this all we want, but there is no denying that if the film had been green lit to film in a national park the media would be running the exact opposite story and aboriginal rights groups would be up in arms that our national parks service, and by association both the federal and provincial governments, are complicit yet again in propagating the stereotype that all aboriginals are criminals.
There would have to be an inquiry, a lot of hand wringing, tv appearances by band leaders etc.
