In this powerful short, artist and activist Gord Hill breaks down what decolonization truly means—and what it doesn't. Drawing from a long history of Indigenous resistance, he challenges symbolic gestures and calls for real, material change: land back, autonomy, and the dismantling of colonial systems. A sharp reminder that decolonization is not a metaphor.

This is part of A Red Road to the West Bank, a documentary in development about Indigenous and Palestinian resistance.
