About
Taking place at SIFF Cinema Uptown!
Seattle Premiere!
Promised Land is a social justice documentary that follows two tribes in the Pacific Northwest: the Duwamish and the Chinook, as they fight for the restoration of treaty rights they’ve long been denied. In following their story, the film examines a larger problem in the way that the government and society still looks at tribal sovereignty. Both the filmmakers and the tribes will be present to discuss their past and future with the community and share tribal songs with those who attend. A portion of the ticket proceeds go to support the tribes. Tickets and more info: http://www.siff.net/cinema/visiting-programs/promised-land
