For this month's Indigenous Movie Cafe, we wanted to feature a film that is uplifting and fun to watch to help brighten your day during both these wintery days and with the impacts of the lockdown. We are sharing the link for Smoke Signals which will be followed by a film discussion on Monday, February 22 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
As for the new film, Smoke Signals, the synopsis is as follows:
Arnold rescued Thomas from a fire when he was a child. Thomas thinks of Arnold as a hero, while Arnold's son Victor resents his father's alcoholism, violence and abandonment of his family. Uneasy rivals and friends, Thomas and Victor spend their days killing time on a Coeur d'Alene reservation in Idaho and arguing about their cultural identities. When Arnold dies, the duo set out on a cross-country journey to Phoenix to retrieve Arnold's ashes.
