Follow Me Home is a defiant, humorous, poetic tale exploring race and identity. Weaving together traditions of Native, African and Latin cultures, the film tells the story of four artists and their journey across the American landscape. Tudee (Jesse Borrego), Abel (Benjamin Bratt), Kaz (Calvin Levels), and Freddy (Steve Reevis) are joined by Evey (Alfre Woodard) an enigmatic African American woman on a journey of her own.
The film earned writer-director Peter Bratt the Best Director award at the 1996 American Indian Film Festival and the Best Feature Film Audience Award at the 1996 San Francisco International Film Festival. It was also an Official Selection in the 1996 Sundance Film Festival.
For more details on how to bring this powerful film to your campus or community, visit our web site www.SpeakOutNow.org . Follow Me Home is not available for sale - it is available as part of a program that features the screening of the film and an engaging post-screening discussion led by Native activist and speaker Lakota Harden.
