Overview
"A young Lakota mother fights to do the best she can for her children in this poetic meditation on motherhood, trauma, and healing. Send a Voice is a lyrical documentary/fiction hybrid film about Kristina, a young Oglala Lakota mother navigating a hostile world. From the underbelly of Rapid City to the summit of Black Elk's Peak, the project explores the possibility of seeing through the material world to the spiritual. The film is a collaboration between Lakota writer and advocate, Sunny Red Bear, and Eswatini-raised filmmaker, Aaron Kopp, developed in concert with the main subject of the film, Kristina. With a sparse narrative structure, the film intertwines non-fiction, scripted scenes, and poetic voice-over to build mood and meaning. Send a Voice monumentalizes daily rituals of young motherhood as sacred acts of love and defiance, to reveal what Oglala Holy Man, Nicholas Black Elk called "the real world beyond this shadow world that we observe with our senses."" -- Abstract
