August Screening

The Unknown Country

United States/ 85 min
Release Year: 2023

Director(s): Morrisa Maltz

Writer(s): Lily Gladstone, Morrisa Maltz, Lainey Bearkiller Shangreaux

Starring: Lily Gladstone, Raymond Lee, Richard Ray Whitman

Synopsis: An unexpected invitation rushes a grieving young woman into a lonely road trip through the American Midwest towards the border between Texas and Mexico.

An invitation to reunite with her estranged Oglala Lakota family launches a grieving young woman (Lily Gladstone) on an unexpected road trip from the Midwest toward the Texas-Mexico border. In this largely solitary journey with an unknown destination, Tana navigates the complex, post-2016 election social climate, and a natural landscape that is increasingly surreal. Along the way, she bonds with unexpected people that are as much a part of the landscape as the mountains and roads. At times at ease, at times on edge as a woman traveling alone, familiar faces and strangers shape her journey as she grapples with the pain of her recent loss and seeks to understand her place in the world.
