Send a Runner

A Navajo Honors the Long Walk

Beschreibung

Both exhilarating and punishing, Send A Runner tells the story of a Navajo family using the power of running to honour their ancestors and the power of history to explain why the Long Walk happened. From these forces, they might also seek the vision of how the Dine - their people - will have a future.
