Dodging Bullets

Dodging Bullets was voted Minnesotas Best Documentary at the 2018 Mpls/St. Paul International Film Festival (MSPIFF). The film speaks to our mission of moving people to ACTION using art. Filmmaker and director, Sarah Edstrom will join us. (The film was co-directed by Kathy Broere, Bob Trench and Jonathan Thunder). This award winning, powerful documentary is the first to chronicle the impact of historical trauma on the lives of Native peoples today, giving voice to their stories of survival and resilience in the face of multigenerational trauma.

The film is a collection of experiences that includes a majority of Native voices, along with activists, legislators, and researchers, to illustrate the effects of intergenerational trauma and to help forge a path towards the future. What is clear throughout the film and these stories is a defining message: If a true healing of the wounds done to Native communities is to be achieved, the trauma cannot be ignored. http://dodgingbullets.org/in-the-news/
