Kissed by Lightning

Directed by Shelley Niro

With Kateri Walker, Eric Schweig, Rachelle White Wind, Tasunka Pejuta McDonald and Michael Greyeyes

Mavis Dogblood is a Mohawk painter from Canada haunted by the tragic death of her husband, who was hit by lightning. She paints the stories he used to tell her, but she can’t come to grips with her loss. It is only after she drives to New York City for an art opening, traveling across what were her ancestors’ tribal lands, that Mavis reconciles herself to her new life.
