War Pony
15A

115 mins – United States / United Kingdom 2022 – Dir: Gina Gammell, Riley Keough
Starring: Iona Red Bear, Ta-Yamni Long Black Cat and Wilma Colhof

Stunning, tender and utterly compelling, WAR PONY tells the interlocking stories of two Oglala Lakota men coming of age on the Pine Ridge Reservation. At 23, Bill (Jojo Bapteise Whiting) just wants to make something of himself. Whether it’s syphoning gas, delivering goods or breeding poodles, he is determined to carve his way to the “American Dream”. Meanwhile, 12-year-old Matho (LaDainian Crazy Thunder) can’t wait to become a man. Desperate for approval from his young, unavailable father, a series of destructive decisions turns Matho’s life upside down and he finds himself unequipped to deal with the harsh realities of the adult world. This is a powerful tale of life, hope and belonging on the Reservation.
