“The Ecstasy of Rita Joe” is a seminal work in Canadian drama, telling the tragic story of a young Indigenous woman’s quest for freedom from reserve life, facing racism, marginalization, and ultimately rape and murder, condemning the systemic brutality of colonialism that strips Indigenous peoples of their pride, traditions, and language.
