Film recommendation

[Zing]

Soap peeps, this is soo far off topic but today we were privileged to view a documentary made by one of my work colleagues at a local film festival. Even if I did not know her, I would recommend this film. For U. S. A. residents, it shows on PBS in January, https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/documentaries/without-arrows/ -- check local listings. This is Must See TV so mark your calendars.

My coworker is a people person and it shows in this film. She documents this man who leaves his Lakota reservation for the big city and then returns to the reservation. There are themes that are specific to the Lakota Nation and themes that are universal. He and his family's story will stay with me for quite some time. It portrays lots of humor and resilience and pathos, All the feels, as the kids say. It's an Indigenous story told by Indigenous story-tellers and worth hearing by all cultures.

I was born and raised in South Dakota, USA and love my friends and family and the big skies and amber waves of grain. And I did not learn a lot of my State history. This documentary is about a family and history and present-day -- and I am thankful for the power of film. Just FYI.

Thank you so much for sharing... I love history, particularly that of indigenous people. My friend Katelynn, who is from Canada and of Anishinaabe ancestry, did a class for kids here about the First Nations. I think she would love this... would you know if this will be available for viewing internationally in 2025?

Sorry but I really have no idea.

Thank you for sharing, I’m especially excited about its focus on Indigenous stories and history, which often get overlooked. I hope it will be available internationally soon, as I think many people, including my friends, would benefit from watching it.
