Native American Film Series: Skins
March 12, 2021 at 5:00 pm
The American Indian and Indigenous Studies (AIIS) Program at the University of Florida is pleased to present a Native American Film Series in March 2021. Richard Conley, associate professor of political science and director of AIIS, will provide background on the films and moderate a brief discussion after viewing. The films span issues of Native American governance and federal relations, law enforcement, social justice and violence against women.
The second film in the series is Skins, directed by Chris Eyre.
“The film is set on the fictional Beaver Creek Indian Reservation in South Dakota near the Nebraska border, a place very much like the actual Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. …Â Lakota Sioux tribal police officer Rudy Yellow Lodge (Eric Schweig) struggles to rescue his older, alcoholic brother, Mogie (Graham Greene), a former football star who was wounded three times in Vietnam.” —Wikipedia
