About the event
"As the harmful phenomenon of Native American mascots continues to be challenged nationally, public school systems everywhere are addressing their own use of Indigenous team names, icons, and imagery. We Are the Warriors is a documentary following residents of Wells, Maine, as they take on this polarizing issue after facing public allegations that Warriors football fans mocked Indigenous culture.
We are the Warriors reveals how difficult conversations about identity and history are key to addressing Native American mascots. The film’s Co-Directors, both graduates of Wells High School, capture the evolving opinions of community members as, after months of informed consideration, the decision to retire the mascot is eventually reached. Awarded the 2023 Maine International Film Festival’s Tourmaline Prize for best feature made in Maine."
