Bay Area Peeps: A Must-See Documentary Screens TODAY!

Promised Land is screening on Monday afternoon – TODAY! – at the 41st American Indian Film Festival, San Francisco, AMC Van Ness Theater.

If you want to understand Standing Rock, get a sense of Native American history, and see what happens when people whose ancestors can be traced back to tribes that have occupied these lands for thousands of years are denied federal recognition, you need to see this film. Please go if you can, and spread the word.

My fellow white people: you really, really need to watch this. And listen. And then help fix the situation. I’ll have a post up soon explaining how you can help, and why it’s so critical that you join tribes in their fight for federal recognition.

Image is the movie poster for Promised Land. Background is a linen texture. Across the top, it says "It is the righteous fight," with Promised Land in larger letters beneath. The image is a totem animal that looks like a crouching, growling wolf. It's in colors of blue, green, and gold.
