Indigenous Film Screening
Tuesday, May 6, 2025, 7 – 9 p.m. in the Heritage Room
The Indigenous Issues group will gather to watch “Drunktown’s Finest,” a feature film from 2014 that follows three young Native Americans – an adopted Native girl, a young father-to-be, and a trans woman who dreams of being a model – as they wrestle with their relationship with their Navajo home and relations. The film illuminates the impacts of colonialism on the Navajo nation while affirming the continued vitality of Navajo culture.
A segment from the program 20/20 focusing on Gallup, New Mexico titled “Drunk Town USA” inspired writer-director Freeland to make the film. Sydney Freeland is a member of the Navajo Nation and is also known for “Reservation Dogs” (2021) and “Rez Ball” (2024). “Drunktown’s Finest” won several awards including Best Film at the American Indian Film Festival in 2014.
