![]() Aila and her friends are constantly under the watchful eye of Popper, a racist Indian Agent who exploits every given oppourtunity to violently beat and extort them. If these truancy taxes are not paid accordingly, the kids will find themselves "disappeared" into the Residential School system. ![]() Aila runs and organizes everything: buying weed from the town's old woman, employing her friends to make the deals, and making sure the "truancy taxes" are paid off to the Indian Agents each month. Rather, the head of a relatively successful drug dealing operation. The film then fast forwards to Aila's teenage years. Her father is then arrested for the murder, and a 10-year old Aila is left to fend for herself. Feeling responsible, Aila's mother is unable to cope with the grief and ends up committing suicide. It all begins when Aila's brother is accidentally killed during a drunk driving incident. The Father is played by Glen Gould, the uncle is played by Brandon Oakes, and the main character, Aila, is played by the truly stunning Devery Jacobs (who was looking drop dead sexy in her dress at TIFF). The film tells the story of an extended M'ikmaq family, from the Red Crow Rez, who are persistently harassed by a sadistically racist Indian Agent named Popper (Mark Krupa). On top of writing and directing this emotional roller-coaster, he also recorded the original score himself (playing a number of instruments in the process). Rhymes For Young Ghouls is Mi'kmaq filmmaker Jeff Barnaby's freshman feature (having two short films already to his credit)- and he's done a damn fine job with it. A theme that is confronted throughout the film. Their collective experience is summed up in a quote made by the film's main character- Aila- who says, "This is what brings my people together.the art of forgetfulness," when speaking about the tendency for members of their community to become reliant upon drugs and alcohol as an escape from the traumatic memories that were consequential of white subjugation. Today's indigenous communities are still reeling from the effects of such policies (one of which is cited in the opening of the film) today. 3M recommends replacing both pancake and cartridge filters within six months of opening their packages (PDF), or, in environments where oil aerosols are present, after only 40 hours of total use or 30 days after the first use, whichever comes first.Rhymes For Young Ghouls is a tale of revenge set within the context of Canada's Residential School era- during which older generations of Indians faced systematic oppression from the state, stemming from policies that was effectively genocidal. The cartridges are more expensive and weigh far more-8.6 ounces per pair on our scale-but they’re also sturdier, and they might be the better choice if you’ll be doing strenuous physical work, such as a kitchen demolition, while wearing your respirator. The pancake filters weigh just half an ounce per pair, and they’re our first recommendation for typical use outdoors and around the home. NIOSH approval means that, at the equivalent rating (P100 in this case), pancake-style filters, such as the 3M 2097 filter we recommend, protect you just as effectively as hard-plastic cartridge filters like the 3M 60926. And as P-designated filters, they also protect against oil-based substances in the air, such as paint fumes, as well as some caustic vapors. The “100” designation indicates that they capture 99.97% of fine particulates, such as wildfire smoke. P100-rated filters are the most widely available kind that meet that criterion.
