The Unknown Country
Morrisa Maltz (Dir), 85 minutes, USA, Western New York Premiere
A grieving woman (Lily Gladstone) travels from the Midwest to the Texas-Mexico border following an invitation to reconnect with her estranged Oglala-Lakota family. During her largely solitary and surreal journey towards an unknown destination, Tana (Gladstone) navigates a post-2016 election social climate against a natural landscape encountering familiar faces and strangers along the way.
