ABOUT THE FILM
Filmed over the course of thirteen years (2011-2023), WITHOUT ARROWS chronicles the vibrancy and struggle of a Lakȟóta family.
Delwin Fiddler Jr., a champion grass dancer from the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, left his reservation as a young man to escape a trauma that splintered his family and built a new life in Philadelphia. A decade later he abandons it all and returns home to fulfill his mother’s ambition and carry on the legacy of their thiyóšpaye (extended family).
You can learn more about Delwin and his non-profit Paza: Tree of Life at his website: https://www.pazatree.org/
The film will also be featured on the PBS documentary series Independent Lens in January 2025. This is your chance to see it before the rest of the country. Check out the trailer on their official website: https://withoutarrows.com/
You can follow the film on social media on Instagram and Facebook.
We look forward to sharing this inspiring film and conversation with you!
In community!
