these are the stuff that should be covered on top of a review.
the movie is called “Gather 2020” and its avaliable on netflix
1) How does Gather highlight the intersection of food sovereignty and gender
within Indigenous communities?
a. Consider how traditional roles related to food production, preparation, and
preservation are gendered in Indigenous cultures. Reflect on whether
these roles challenge or reinforce patriarchal norms, especially when
viewed through feminist or queer theory lenses. How are these traditions
being revitalized or adapted in the face of modern challenges?
2) In what ways does the film explore the relationship between colonization,
food, and the body, especially in the context of Indigenous women’s
experiences?
a. Reflect on how the film portrays the impact of colonialism on Indigenous
food systems and how that translates to the body and health, particularly
for Indigenous women and Two-Spirit people. Analyze this through
postcolonial and gendered perspectives. How do food systems act as both
a source of oppression and empowerment?
3) How does the reclamation of food traditions in Gather relate to feminist,
queer, or postcolonial theory as discussed in class?
a. Connect the film’s depiction of reclaiming food traditions to theories of
decolonization and resistance. In what ways does the act of growing and
cooking traditional foods function as a reclaiming of identity, gender roles,
and autonomy? How might this align with feminist critiques of capitalism
and industrial food systems?
