"Songs My Brothers Taught Me" One Nation Film Festival Screening and Filmmakers Reception
One Nation Walking Together and One Nation Film Festival announce a special event June 20th 2015 7:00pm with the screening of 2015 Sundance Film Festival US Dramatic Nominated and Cannes Directors Fortnight selected feature film by Writer/Director Chloé Zhao "Songs My Brothers Taught Me".
At 7:00pm we will screen the film at Armstrong Hall Theater, 14 E. Cache La Poudre St. on the campus of Colorado College followed by a Filmmaker/Cast Q&A.
A reception for the Director along with Lead Actors Jashuan St. John, John Reddy, and Travis Lone Hill starts at 9:00.
SONGS MY BROTHERS TAUGHT ME is a compelling and complex portrait of modern day life on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation that explores the bond between a brother (John Reddy) and his younger sister (Jashaun St. John), who find themselves on separate paths to rediscovering the meaning of home. Chloé Zhao sensitively infiltrates isolated Indian Country to offer a rare, modern gaze keenly felt through the eyes of her magnetic non-professional lead actors, providing a universally resonant tale set amid the magnificent, promising wild of young generation Lakota. The film was produced by Forest Whitaker, Angela C. Lee, Mollye Asher, Nina Yang Bongiovi and Chloé Zhao.
This event is Sponsored by the Colorado College Native American Student Union and Southwest Studies.
Proceeds from this event go to One Nation Walking Together in support of their mission to make a positive difference in the lives of Native Americans.
