"Thumbs Up. This film touched bases with the everyday cycle of an alcoholic and what this lifestyle does to family. I believe that every Red Road in the USA should have a copy."

REVIEWS "This unique piece provokes native and non-native viewers' thoughtful insight into the heart and psyche of a displaced, indigenous Californian. This film can be shown solely for entertainment or it can be dissected into critical thinking pieces...highly recommended."
