Fancy Dance
15
Following her sister’s disappearance, Jax (Lily Gladstone) and her niece Roki (Isabel Deroy-Olson) must stick together. Desperate to keep what’s left of their family intact, Jax and Roki defy the law and hit the road on a journey to the Grand Nation Powwow in Oklahoma City.
What begins as a search for Jax's sister gradually turns into a far deeper investigation into the complexities and contradictions of Indigenous women moving through a colonized world while at the mercy of a failed justice system.
