 ized and until today more than 1.5 million people have been killed as 
 a consequence. In the same year millions of people around the world jo
 ined the struggle against this criminal and bloody war. MAWO’s first
  Film Festival for Peace was held in this year. A decade since the fes
 tival began, MAWO has screened hundreds of films documenting wars, occ
 upations and the struggle of oppressed people for self-determination.\
 nAt this year’s festival, MAWO is honoured to host distinguished fil
 mmaker, educator and activist, Alanis Obomsawin. Alanis is from the Ab
 enaki Indigenous Nation and currently lives in Quebec. For more than f
 our decades, she has directed documentaries at the National Film Board
  of Canada that chronicle the struggles and realities of Indigenous pe
 ople in Canada. In this period of time, she has made over 30 documenta
 ries, including the award-winning “Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resista
 nce” and most recently “The People of Kattawapiskak River” which
  will be screened at this year’s festival. A recipient of many award
 s and honours, Alanis will also be sharing with the audience her exper
 ience in documenting some of the most important events in the recent h
 istory of Canada.\nThis year’s film festival, with a central focus o
 n the world-wide struggle for peace, should not to be missed!\nStay po
