Institute History
Description
Ian Skorodin’s first feature film, Tushka, ranks among the year’s groundbreaking Native-made dramatic features. Based on actual events during the 1970s, the film is set during the period when the FBI waged its COINTELPRO campaign against civil rights efforts made by such organizations as the American Indian Movement and the Black Panthers. A raw, compelling story, Tushka tells of government corruption, Indian defiance, and the power of the human spirit.

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.
