Description

Mia is losing it—both herself and her culture. She's wrapped her identity in a blanket of men and has lost what it means to be a strong, modern Native woman. After losing yet another "love of her life," she's forced to move home to Alaska and back in with her mother, a tribal council member. When she's dragged to a council meeting on her first night back home, Mia finds herself being unceremoniously volun-told that she's her tribe's newly elected youth representative. In taking on this role, she finds herself learning to finally dance to her own drum.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
