Decent Documentary
Saw this at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival
"Twice Colonized" is a documentary about renowned Inuit lawyer Aaju Peter who has led a lifelong fight for the rights of her people. When her youngest son unexpectedly passes away, Aaju embarks on a personal journey to bring her colonizers in both Canada and Denmark to justice. For the most part, this documentary was decent and it's a good exploration study of Aaju Peter.
The documentary focuses on her life experiences, motivations, and what kind of person she is and the film does a pretty good job on exploring these concepts. The soundtrack choices were well done and the beautiful camerawork helps to show the landscapes of Greenland and Denmark at the same time.
The problems rely on uneven pacing and generic formula on documentary storytelling. Overall, a good once watch.
Rating: B-
