Directed by Chris Eyre (Cheyenne/Arapaho).
Director Chris Eyre’s monumental first feature—also the first commercially released American feature written, directed and co-produced by Native American people— presents two young Native men, stoic Victor and nerdy Thomas, who journey from the Couer-d’Alene reservation to retrieve the ashes of Victor’s long-lost father. The road trip deepens the pair’s tenuous friendship, as they explore their Native identity and confront past traumas with courage and humor.
