Bring Them Home
Oscar® nominee and onetime Washington resident Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) narrates this soul-stirring and tradition-oriented documentary about Montana’s Blackfoot tribe as they seek to reinstate a wild buffalo herd back to their ancestral land.
Co-Directors Ivy and Ivan Macdonald and Director/Producer Daniel Glick scheduled to attend.
SIFF 4th World alumni Ivy and Ivan MacDonald (Blackfeet) partner with co-director Daniel Glick in Bring Them Home, which tells the story of a small group of Blackfoot peoples and their mission to establish the first wild buffalo herd on their ancestral territory since the species’ near-extinction a century ago, an act that would restore the land, re-enliven traditional culture, and bring much-needed healing to their community. Blackfeet actress and Bring Them Home executive producer Lily Gladstone (Oscar® nominee for Killers of the Flower Moon) narrates the film, imbuing the story with her love for their people, the land, and the iinnii (buffalo).
