"They"

"When we showed Searchers in my community, one elderly woman got so into the movie she almost fainted, probably from watching her children act or remembering what has happened to her in the past, because they were kidnapping women and tying them up. They remember that, they lived that."

"I know in John Ford's [version of Searchers] John Wayne is the leading actor and this girl is kidnapped by Comanches and he goes out to rescue her. But in our story it's all Inuit good guys and bad guys. We're just following the model of a woman being kidnapped and the husband trying to get her back."

Haven't seen Searchers...so far The Fast Runner is the kind of film that makes me wonder what a not so patriarchal film would be like...
