Institute History
Description
In this short film, it is five years after a deadly unknown virus has spread throughout the Navajo reservation and the entire United States. Crystal, a young Navajo woman, is left with only a ceremonial box after her father succumbs to the virus. Haunted by the fear that she is inadequate to carry what traditions and knowledge were left to her, she leaves her home and the box to venture into the unknown world. Soon her fears manifest into dreams and visions that push her back to where she came from to remember her own "medicine."

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.
