"highlights Indigenous female power" | Abandoned: Angelique's Isle
“highlights Indigenous female power

-”Celiana Cárdenas's cinematography bathes the viewer in both the beauty and cruelty of its northern landscape, and the nature sounds overpower its score, emphasizing how important the land is to the people who inhabit it. But Angelique's Isle proves to be more than just a man-versus-nature story; Derosier's script is multilayered, and explores the cruelty of nature in the hands of the colonizer and the greed of men who exploit their land's natural resources.”
