KEEP QUIET AND FORGIVE
APRIL 25
Thirty years after being assaulted, an Amish woman-turned-leader, Lizzie breaks her silence, igniting a growing movement of Amish and Mennonite survivors who challenge a deeply rooted culture of secrecy and demand accountability. Based on groundbreaking reporting, Keep Quiet and Forgive follows Lizzie and other survivors as they navigate trauma, faith, and family ties and fight to replace “forgive and forget” with healing and justice. With rare access, the film is a sobering celebration of resilience in the face of staggering oppression.
WHY WE DANCE
APRIL 26
On land marked by erasure and ignorance, a letter arrived in 1923 ordering hundreds of Tribal Nations to stop dancing. What officials called “unproductive gatherings” were in truth ceremonies of harvest, gratitude, and renewal — times when communities came together to thank the land, share food, and prepare for winter. The Meskwaki people refused to be silenced. In response, they organized one of the largest powwows of their time, a four-day celebration that drew thousands from neighboring towns and Tribal Nations. The tradition itself became the resistance. One hundred years later, the Meskwaki Annual Powwow continues celebrating, gathering families, friends to dance, sing, and give, carrying forward a rhythm that could not be outlawed.
Why We Dance traces that enduring heartbeat of land and people, examines the culture and complexity of dance within Indigenous communities, and the resilience of individuals and nations continuing to preserve their traditions despite generations of erasure and ongoing atrocities. Through powwow footwork, hand-beaded regalia, stories passed down through families, the film reveals how dance becomes a bridge between body and earth, anger and hope, memory and future. Filmed across the Rosebud Reservation, the Meskwaki Settlement, the Twin Cities, Oahu, Hawaii and Mataxhi, Mexico, Why We Dance is both document and celebration. A story of endurance, belonging and the movement that continues to bind communities across generations and geographies.
