Challenges of Portraying Indigenous Tribes in Film

There are many times when films have come under great criticism for their portrayal of the indigenous tribes and people. Producers often find that while the presence of these indigenous tribes in the film can enrich the story, they are also more likely to bring more challenges. The presence of indigenous people is often meant to portray their issues, bring to light their stories and in essence, provide knowledge about these tribes that may not be readily available. However, due to the problems and challenges encountered in making such inclusion, producers and film directors have often ended up dealing with racism allegations.
