From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe: a film for every country

Billy Crystal and John Goodman in Monsters, Inc. (2001)

The list  deals with films in which the indigenous perspective is at the forefront. 

It does not include films in which indigenous cultures or people are primarily presented through a majority perspective. Additionally, films in which the primary focus is on non-natives and how they somehow get educated/enlightened by encountering indigenous people are excluded.

Here "indigenous people" is defined as "a people with their own language and distinctive cultural traditions still practiced, the original inhabitants of a geographical territory but now a minority relative to the dominant culture of their country."
