Mutual Native Duplex
Mutual Native Duplex is one of the most talked-about movies released in 1990, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
In his Video Griots Trilogy, Jenkins creates a series of video meditations on history and culture. Using archival footage, photographs, image processing, and an elegiac soundtrack, he pulls together diverse strands of thought to construct an "other" history. "Mutual Native Duplex" is a video essay on the mutual alliances between Native and African Americans which celebrates the "neo-American model" of inter-cultural cooperation that grew out of these encounters.
