Gathering Our Hearts @Standing Rock
Donation protected
We are excited to welcome Oscar-nominated Director Fidel Moreno for a special screening of his documentary, “Gathering Our Hearts at Standing Rock.”
Culled from 18 hours of interviews with 33 people at Standing Rock — including youth, mothers, grandmothers, grandfathers, First Nation people and non-Indian supporters — “Gathering Our Hearts at Standing Rock” is an ongoing documentary project, chronicling the story of the protectors at Standing Rock and their connection to the history of the American Indian Movement on their treaty-given lands of the American west.
In addition to the film screenings, Fidel will be participating in various community events including providing cultural demonstrations at local schools. Our collective goal is to provide an opportunity for community members to deepen their understanding of:
Indigenous sovereignty; Environmental and social justice intersection; Connecting the dots between Standing Rock and local lives and local work; Local action around indigenous sovereignty, water protection and fracking, divestment, and environmental and social justice.
Community Film Screenings:
1. Tuesday, April 25th 12pm @ The Space at Greenstar (700 W. Buffalo St.)
2. Tuesday, April 25th at 7pm @ Klarman Hall Auditorium KG70, Cornell University
2 . Wednesday, April 26th at 5:30p @ GIAC (301 W. Court St.)
Funds will go directly to cover Fidel Moreno's honorarium, stipends for panelists, and food costs for community events with Fidel.
Fidel Moreno identifies as Huichol, Chichimeca and Mexican American. He is an Oscar nominee in the Best Short Documentary category as co-producer and co-director of “Wiping the Tears of 7 Generations,” and a three-time Telly Award winner for “The Peyote Road” and “500 Nations.” Raised in both old Mexico and the Midwest area of the United States, Moreno’s work in documentary film and video since 1983 has focused on the struggle and dialogues of indigenous people and communities in Canada, the United States, Mexico and Central America. He has worked directly with many communities, aboriginal leaders, chiefs and elders in documenting environmental actions and issues, human rights violations and crisis relief services. Moreno is an activist passionate about working with youth and children through cultural literacy skill building, emotional development and purposeful life navigation.
