Filmmaker apologizes for claiming family came from the Quebec Algonquin community.
The National Film Board of Canada has pulled a documentary from the slate of the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, after questions surfaced about the filmmaker’s claim to indigenous roots.
The documentary “Inconvenient Indian” “will be withdrawn from all upcoming festivals, including the 2021 Sundance Film Festival,” the National Film Board of Canada said in a statement issued Tuesday.
