Mohawk Girls, a “dramedy” produced jointly by the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network and Rogers’s OMNI television, wrapped up shooting last week in Kahnawake.
Since Rogers sent out a press release a month ago announcing the series, it’s gotten some decent attention in the local media. Enough that I don’t feel compelled to repeat their work. Here are links to the coverage the series has gotten:
- Brendan Kelly of The Gazette, focused on director and creator Tracy Deer
- Christine Long of CTV Montreal, about the universality of the subjects that come up
- Anna Asimakopulos of CBC Montreal, about Mohawk women finally getting a chance to tell their stories
- Global Montreal’s Richard Dagenais interviews Deer and actor Brittany Leborgne about what they want to get out of this series
- Tom Fennario of APTN on Deer’s experiences on set
- Daniel J. Rowe of the Eastern Door on how the series affected Kahnawake, and how Kahnawake affected its cast
The seven-episode, 30-minute series will air on APTN and OMNI in 2014. You can follow it through social media. It’s on Twitter and Facebook.
