Smoke signals
Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
A new film from the heart of native America.
Set in Arizona, Smoke signals is the story of two Indian boys on a journey. Victor Joseph (Adam Beach) is the stoic, handsome son of an alcoholic father who has abandoned his family. Thomas Builds-the-fire (Evan Adams) is a gregarious, goofy young man who lost both his parents in a fire at a very young age. Through storytelling, Thomas makes every effort to connect with the people around him; Victor, in contrast, uses his quiet countenance to gain strength and confidence.
When Victor's estranged father dies, the two men embark on an adventure to Phoenix to collect the ashes. Along the way, Smoke signals illustrates the ties that bind these two very different young men and embraces the lessons they learn from one another.
