Following the interest in the daily Tubi posts in October, the series is being moved to a weekly one with films from Tubi suggested every Tuesday. Why Tuesday you ask? Because it sounds nice with Tubi. Tubi Tuesday, rolls off the tongue nicely. And why Tubi? Well, it’s free so you do not need to pay for a new subscription to watch these (in the US, listings may vary in other countries).
Without further ado, here are this week’s suggestions of films from First Nations creatives:
