Sara Roque centred the matriarchal leadership of the Six Nations in her film Six Miles Deep, her documentary sharing their resolute and collective resistance to attempted land dispossession.
Roque's work forms part of an important constellation of Indigenous female documentary filmmakers, who include Alanis Obomsawin, a group of voices gaining global recognition.
[18] Six Miles Deep brought national attention to the 2006 Caledonia Blockade and centred on the models of female Indigenous leadership, which historically had been dismantled by colonisers when they arrived in Ontario.
[19] Various screenings included the Coady Institute,[20] OCAD University[21] and the Gimme Some Truth Festival - "Six Miles Deep is an inspiring and compelling portrait of a group of women whose actions have led a cultural re-awakening in their traditionally matriarchal community".
[22] Sara Roque married Andrew Balfour (Fisher River First Nation), Composer and Artistic Director of Camerata Nova,[23] Winnipeg in 2021.
