We wrote about this film project two years ago, amid the REDSKINS controversy. And now, the Little brothers have gotten it together and available for screening. Why is it that Native American mascotry is flourishing decades after Sambo depictions were wiped off the face of advertising? Chief Wahoo is on the way out, how about we end all Native American mascotry and inappropriate signage?
“More Than a Word: A film about Native American-based sports mascots and the Washington R*dskins” analyzes the controversy over the Washington football team and its contentious name. Using interviews from both those in favor of changing the name and those against, the film presents a deeper analysis of the many issues surrounding the matter.
