Institute History
Description
It's another typical day at a rural elementary school on a Native American reservation in Oklahoma. A faded image of Little Chief, the school's mascot, remains on the walls as a proud symbol of a rich and complicated history. The world is stacked against the students, but Sharon shows up each day to guide her fifth-graders through it. One of them, Bear, is having a particularly hard time, enduring challenges both at home and in the classroom. He is desperate enough to escape it all, and Sharon is left chasing a little boy who is running to nowhere.

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.
