VIDEO LETTERS FROM PRISON

Milt Lee

Cass Lake, MN

This film about the power of love and family follows the lives of three Oglala Lakota sisters from the Pine Ridge Reservation of South Dakota as they reconnect with their incarcerated father via a series of video letters. The Poor Bear girls are not sure they even want to connect—but their mother, Cindy, helps them overcome reluctance and hurt to participate in the letters. The change in her girls is immediate and beautiful.
