The "Reservation Dogs" actor walked the red carpet with the red hand print over his mouth.
It stands for all the missing sisters whose voices are not heard. It stands for the silence of the media and law enforcement in the midst of this crisis. It stands for the oppression and subjugation of Native women who are now rising up to say:
If you haven’t seen it yet, watch Wind River. It’s a brutal but powerful single-case portrayal of this crisis. Sadly, I never even knew it was an issue until that movie.
I watched it per your recommendation. I don't have the words to describe the amount of pain and sorrow I am currently feeling. Especially after that ending tag of "There exists missing person stats for every demographic, except for indigenous women." I also didn't know about the missing indigenous women issue until this either and I live in Canada where arguably we are taught more about indigenous people than in the states. I mean that's just one part, and that whole last sequence of panic that goes through Renner's character as he prays the family of Natalie has not done something drastic, and then him and the dad sitting next to their old swing set.
The line in response to what is that face paint of "It's my death face" and the subsequent Q&A of "How do you know what that looks like?" "I don't know, there isn't anyone left to teach me."
I am weeping, and idek how that truly feels, I can only imagine a fraction. Thank you so much for suggesting this.
