Presented by John Ferry and Grace De Soto
Filmmakers John Ferry and Grace De Soto will discuss the making of their award-winning documentary Sitting Bull: A Stone in My Heart, which will be screened at the class (approximately 55 min.). The film makes extensive use of first-person narration taken from Sitting Bull’s own words, giving the viewer an intimate portrait of one of America’s great historical figures, who was not only the most powerful Indian chief of the Northern Plains but also a great warrior, spiritual leader, and skilled diplomat. Sitting Bull’s words, along with a narrator’s historical perspective, over six hundred archival photographs and images, and a compelling original music score bring to life the story of a great man’s struggle to maintain his people’s way of life against the ever-expanding westward movement of White settlers.
