SUMMARY:FILM // Warrior Women
DESCRIPTION:An inspiring documentary about mothers and daughters fighting for indigenous rights in the American Indian Movement of the 1970s. The story unveils not only a female perspective of history\, but also examines the impact political struggles have on the children who bear witness. Famed Indigenous and women’s rights activist Madonna Thunder Hawk and her daughter Marcella are highlighted in this uplifting yet heart-rending tale of indomitable spirit undeterred by age or government apathy. \nQ&A with Director/ Producer Elizabeth Castle and activist Madonna Thunder Hawk after the screening moderated by KU School of Public Affairs & Administration Professor Sarah Deer. \n  \nElizabeth Castle\, Director\nElizabeth Castle brings almost 20 years of experience as a scholar\, activist\, and media maker working in collaboration with Native Nations and underrepresented communities.
