"A Healing Walk" – a half-hour, made for television documentary, responding to the tragic school shooting at the high school on the Red Lake Reservation in Red Lake, Minnesota (3/21/05). Working with teachers and students at the Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig Native American Charter School in Cass Lake, MN; Jim helped document the first region-wide response made by the surrounding tribes and people of all colors and generations (5/19-20/05). The walk covered 61 miles, from the "Bug" School to the Red Lake Nation. This inspiring story will be used to generate Intergenerational Dialogues about how the region can continue to heal and create a better life for people of all ages. Partial financial support for this project has been provided by Lutheran Social Services Disaster Relief. Contact us for more information about air-times and distribution.
"Go Oaks! Taking a Stand on Sacred Land" – a feature-length documentary, telling the dramatic story of the confrontation between neighborhood activists, environmentalists, Native American leaders, and The State of Minnesota during the construction of a major highway and light rail corridor in Minneapolis. This confrontation, in the December of 1999, resulted in the largest police action ever undertaken in the history of Minnesota and the destruction of an encampment and Native American spiritual site. As the Executive Producer, Jim is responsible for bringing this largely untold story to a national and international audience. Working with 2 filmmakers, Jon Carlson and Annie Follett, this multi-generational story will confront major questions dealing with progress versus sacred lands, the environment, and highways. It will also tell the story of Earth First's initial urban action in the United States. This project is currently in post-production. For more information, go to Oak Folk Films - "Go Oaks" website.
