In her impressive first feature, writer-director Sydney Freeland (Navajo) presents a suite of stories about contemporary life among Navajo youth. The film follows three residents of the small, reservation-adjacent town of Dry Lake. Nizhoni, a college-bound woman raised by a white family, longs to connect with her birth parents. Sickboy plans to join the military but struggles to disengage from pervasive bad influences. Felixia, a transgender woman living with her traditional grandparents, dreams of being a model. Freeland brings a firsthand authenticity from her own reservation upbringing to this astute drama that cuts through stereotypes of Native life.
