Documentaries of Anne Makepeace

Two acclaimed documentaries by
local filmmaker Anne Makepeace.

We Still Live Here – A remarkable saga of cultural revival by the Wampanoag of Southeastern Massachusetts. Their ancestors ensured the survival of the Pilgrims in New England, and lived to regret it. Now they are bringing their language home again.

Coming to Light – The dramatic story of the life of Edward S. Curtis, the creation of his monumental work, and his changing views of the people he set out to document. Hopi, Navajo, Cupig, Blackfeet, Piegan, Suquamish and Kwakiutl people, many of them descended from Curtis’s photographic subjects, tell stories about the people in the photographs, and discuss the meaning of the images from their own perspectives.
