We\'re celebrating the late great Indigenous filmmaker Jeff Barnaby with a look at 2013\'s Rhymes for Young Ghouls. C/W: infanticide, suicide, drug abuse, threat of sexual assault, residential schools (basically everything).

This is a rough text, but Barnaby\'s tale of Indigenous vengeance against colonial oppressors is also extremely cathartic. Plus: The Aila Test, a brief history of residential schools, how the film uses genre to disarm white audiences, and debate about whether the end of the film is "happy"
