Tue, 03 Sep 2019 17:49:48 GMT

The movie features conversations with an Lakota elder on the tragedies experienced by his people and the lessons of his life. Director Steven Lewis Simpson respectfully, lovingly, carefully created a film that stays true to Kent Nerburn's book, but is its own amazing creation. The casting is perfect, particularly Dave Bald Eagle who brings the lead character Native elder Dan to life with his sense of humor and his tears for his people. Tickets: $12 adults, $10 seniors, $6 youth
