FOR MATURE AUDIENCES: SEXUAL VIOLENCE DISCUSSED

Sisters Rising is the story of six Native American women fighting to restore personal and tribal sovereignty in the face of ongoing sexual violence against Indigenous women in the United States. An urgent call to action, this portrait of powerful women acting in solidarity is a demand for tribal sovereignty and self-determination toward ending violence against Native women.

Conversation to follow with Willow O' Feral, Brad Heck, Jaida Grey Eagle, and Sarah Deer (Muscogee), moderated by Cass Gardiner (Anishinaabe/Algonquin).
