The Eagle and the Condor: From Standing Rock With Love

press release: Celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day with a world premiere screening of "The Eagle and The Condor: From Standing Rock With Love".

“The Eagle and The Condor” is a beautiful film made by Mohawk filmmaker Kahsto’sera’a Paulette Moore that focuses on the events of Indigenous Peoples' Day 2016 in Standing Rock as a way to explore the juxtaposition of the extreme violence and history of violence with the beauty of ceremonies and the people who still remember and practice them. The filmmaker hopes it will bring viewers a deeper understanding of and respect for the challenges Indigenous peoples face to maintain and practice their cultures under the pressures of centuries of colonization and extreme resource extraction on their homelands.
