SUMMARY:Bring Them Home - FILM
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Ivan MacDonald\, Ivy MacDonald and Daniel Glick\nRUN TIME: 1 hour 25 min + Q&A with Producers Candice Dalsing and Rebekka Schlicting moderated by Lori Hasselman \nPreshow food samples by Jason The Native Chef!  \nABOUT THE FILM\nA hundred and fifty years ago\, the Blackfoot people were nearly destroyed when the American Bison\, one of the most important links to their identity\, culture and spirituality\, was slaughtered to near-extinction. Today\, a small group of Blackfoot are working to right these historic wrongs by returning wild bison to their lands – an act that would heal people\, re-enliven traditional culture and bring economic opportunity to their community. It’s a mission that has been threatened at nearly every turn by non-native politicians\, cattle ranchers\, internal politics and the legacy of colonialism\, but one that has persisted nonetheless. \n\nCandice Dalsing\nCandice Dalsing is an award-winning Director/Producer based in Los Angeles\, CA. As a part of the LGBTQ+ community and a descendant of the Mescalero Apache Tribe\, she is known for her unwavering commitment to inclusive storytelling. With a career spanning over a decade in the film industry\, Candice has become a pivotal figure in bringing to light the nuanced narratives of underrepresented communities. Her work\, characterized by its depth\, authenticity\, and innovative approach\, aims not only to entertain but to provoke thought and foster understanding across diverse audiences. She is also Co-Owner of Deer Woman Productions which is a nonprofit Native/women run production company. \nRebekka Schlichting\nAn enrolled member of the Ioway Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska\, Rebekka Schlichting is a filmmaker and co-owner of Deer Woman Productions.
