FILM #2
Across the Creek
Across the Creek offers a fresh perspective into the lives of Lakota tribal members on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Reservations. Through a mix of intimate interviews, landscape scenics, and illuminating footage of Lakota culture, the film opens a window into how the past and present converge daily. These Sioux communities struggle to balance tradition with change, honoring the wisdom of elder generations and confronting new challenges facing burgeoning youth populations. Even if you have visited an Indian reservation before, you have not experienced contemporary American Indian life quite like this.

FILM #3
L’eau est la Vie
L’eau est la Vie—Water is Life, from Standing Rock to the swamp. On the banks of Louisiana, fierce Indigenous women are ready to fight—to stop the corporate blacksnake and preserve their way of life. They are risking everything to protect Mother Earth from the predatory fossil fuel companies that seek to poison it.

The Unafraid
ABOUT THE FILM
The Unafraid is a feature-length documentary that follows the personal lives of three immigrant students in Georgia, a state that has banned them and other recipients of DACA from attending its top state universities and charges them international tuition at any other public college. Shot in an observational style over a period of four years, this film takes an intimate look at the lives of Alejandro, Silvia, and Aldo as they navigate activism, chasing their dream of education, and their and their families’ personal struggles and triumphs. The Unafraid shows us what it means to grow up both American and undocumented in today’s United States.

FILM
American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs
ABOUT THE FILM
We would all be so lucky to know a Grace Lee Boggs: activist, feminist, author, speaker, and philosopher. As of this writing, she is still socially active at age 97. Grandmotherly in appearance but fierce and outspoken—sometimes to the point of making people cry during arguments—she embodies the spirit of the words she once spoke: “You don’t choose the times you live in, but you do choose who you want to be.”
