Romance and Politics on Indigenous Peoples Day
Revry is highlighting QUERENCIA and MORONI FOR PRESIDENT which center on the queer stories of Indigenous Peoples.
Querencia
Teka has just broken up with her boyfriend and left home for the first time to follow her dream of becoming a dancer. The big city, and the big city talent she competes with at auditions, have left her feeling very lonely. Enter: dating apps. When Teka mistakenly selects “women seeking women” on her profile, she meets Abe, a struggling musician trying to move on from her ex. Is this a happy accident or a complete disaster?
Moroni For President
Moroni Benally is running for the presidency of the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American nation in the U.S. Young, gay, highly educated, and Mormon, he sets out to confront the political establishment with a homespun campaign that originated out of frustration about the lack of progress in the reservation where he grew up. An eye-opening and humorous portrait of a political race that runs parallel to the current political landscape of the US.
