Description
Discusses the role of a mainstream science fiction film, Mad Max: Fury Road, in maintaining “totem transfer” and “settler replacement” narratives. Contrasts this with two Indigenous works: William Sanders's "When This World Is All on Fire" and Danis Goulet's short film Wakening which challenge these narratives.
