(2014) dir Sterlin Harjo (Creek/Seminole) [90 min; Digital]
Pete Harjo, director Sterlin Harjo’s grandfather, disappeared in 1962 after his car crashed on a rural bridge in Sasakwa, Oklahoma. The Seminole Indian community searched for his body for days, but nothing was found. The community sang their own religious songs, as they searched, finding solace in the hymns of faith that had sustained the community for more than 150 years. Harjo’s latest film explores the mystery of his grandfather’s death and the role Native song played in his family’s grief.
“Filtering painstaking research on the evolution of Creek Nation hymns through a tragic narrative from Harjo’s family history, the director’s first nonfiction feature is artful and illuminating.” – Guy Lodge, Variety
