Finding Their Own Dance
UARK Bowl – 4:00 pm – (113 min) – Trailer

Synopsis: The Alutiiq or Sugpiaq people are Native Alaskans whose long history includes a complex social structure based upon the rich maritime resources of the central Gulf of Alaska. Unfortunately, it also includes exploitation by both Russians and Americans. The Alutiiq arts and culture were nearly lost over the centuries of oppression by these invading cultures that attempted to tear their culture from the Alutiiq people. Recently, however, something unique and incredible has happened among the Alutiiq people. They have begun to rediscover their rich artistic heritage and are choreographing new dances and creating new art. They have found their dance. How did this cultural reawakening begin? How has it found fertile ground among the younger generations in the face of overwhelming pressure from American popular culture? How are the traditional stories from the dramatic history of the Alutiiq people represented in the art? Will it survive? These are just a few of the questions we are asking in this important documentary film, “Finding their own Dance: Reawakening the Alaskan Alutiiq Arts.”

Living is Winning
Global Campus Room 204 – 8:00 pm – (113 min) – Trailer

Synopsis: In the calm, cold water of Mirror Lake, the starting gun for Ironman Lake Placid is ready to fire. Andrew ‘Drew’ Johnston floats, waiting to battle competitors from all over the world as they swim over, under, and around each other on a quest to qualify for the Ford Ironman World Championship.  But for Drew, a different struggle weighs heavily on his mind and in his heart.  In 2004, a recurring leg injury forced his withdrawal with 10 miles left in this race, something he never imagined possible. This injury led to a frightening diagnosis of Leukemia (CML).  One year later, after the oral chemo Gleevac put his disease in remission, Drew began competing at an elite level again, and winning.  But he had unfinished business, and his emotional return to Lake Placid serves as the backbone of this film.   

Throughout the grueling 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run, Drew retells his inspirational life story.  From his introduction to cycling and early struggles with triathlon to his diagnosis and successful comeback at the famous Ford Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Drew’s story is one of strength, determination, love, family and friendship.  Surprisingly funny interviews with family and friends provide more than the usual glimpse into the world of an elite athlete.  And with every stroke, pedal, and step Drew takes, you not only root for him, you cheer for what he believes in –  a nothing is impossible attitude and a day-to-day appreciation of life.  Andrew Johnston overcomes the odds to challenge himself and to inspire others to live life to its fullest. He proves that our only limitations are the ones we set for ourselves. Living is Winning is an inspiring feature length documentary film about Ironman triathlete, former pro-cyclist, and Leukemia survivor Andrew “Drew” Johnston.

Watch it Grow: Global Campus – Room 204 – 8:30 am – (8 min)

Fort Roosevelt Requiem
Global Campus – Room 204 – 9:00 am – (60 min) – Trailer

Synopsis: In the middle of California, surrounded by dairies and farms, sprung one of the most unique educational experiences in the world. Created by a principal who ‘hated school’ when he was a kid, Fort Roosevelt was built to inspire kids to want to learn.

Built and operated by community volunteers, Fort Roosevelt was literally a fort: a western style stockade surrounded by 1000 telephone poles. It featured an authentic log cabin, pond, 7 different environmental areas and wild animal rehabilitation center. Fort Roosevelt became a role model for outdoor educational facilities around the world. It garnered praise from as high as the President of the United States and even attracted Hollywood’s attention. The fort drew in approximately 30,000 visitors a year.

To children, the fort was a magical place that inspired awe at every corner. Thousands of children have been positively influenced by the fort’s magic.

But for anything good, it seems there are always people who are against it. To the school district, Fort Roosevelt was an albatross that had to be removed. After 40 years of unparalleled success, the Fort was destroyed during the Christmas break in 2005. Despite a valiant effort by the community, the school district could not be deterred from its mission. ‘Fort Roosevelt Requiem’ chronicles and recreates the magic of Fort Roosevelt as well as exposes the truth behind its tragic demise.

More Than Skin Deep
UARK Bowl – 11:00 am – (58 min)

Split Estate
Global Campus – Room 204 – 12:00 pm – (60 min) – Trailer

Synopsis: Imagine discovering that you don’t own the mineral rights under your land, and that an energy company plans to drill for natural gas two hundred feet from your front door. Imagine having little recourse, other than accepting an unregulated industry in your backyard. Split Estate maps a tragedy in the making, as citizens in the path of a new drilling boom in the Rocky Mountain West struggle against the erosion of their civil liberties, their communities and their health.

Zeroing in on Garfield County, Colorado, and the San Juan Basin, this clarion call for accountability examines the growing environmental and social costs to an area now referred to as a “National Sacrifice Zone.”
This is no Love Canal or Three Mile Island. With its breathtaking panoramas, aspen-dotted meadows, and clear mountain streams, this is the Colorado of John Denver anthems — the wide-open spaces that have long stirred our national imagination.

Exempt from federal protections like the Clean Water Act, the oil and gas industry has left this idyllic landscape and its rural communities pockmarked with abandoned homes and polluted waters. One Garfield County resident demonstrates the degree of benzene contamination in a mountain stream by setting it alight with a match. Many others, gravely ill, fight for their health and for the health of their children. All the while, the industry assures us it is a “good neighbor.”

Ordinary homeowners and ranchers absorb the cost. Actually, we all pay the price in this devastating clash of interests that extends well beyond the Rockies. Aggressively seeking new leases in as many as 32 states, the industry is even making a bid to drill in the New York City watershed, which provides drinking water to millions.
As public health concerns mount, Split Estate cracks the sugarcoating on an industry touted as a clean alternative to fossil fuels, and poignantly drives home the need for real alternatives.

Finale
UARK Bowl – 1:00 pm – (54 min)

Synopsis: Take a tour under the Big Top with Trudy Strong, aerial artist, tiger trainer, and third generation circus veteran. This colorful yet tender documentary combines dramatic historical footage and personal recollections to capture five generations of American circus history in one remarkable family. From the challenges of life on the road to the deep rewards of befriending a group of tigers, Trudy’s personal story sheds new light on the hearts, minds, and souls behind the face paint and sequins. A rare opportunity for viewers young and old to see the circus through new eyes.

“Kindness goes a long ways in a cage full of tigers.” – Trudy Strong

Pearl
Global Campus – Room 204 – 2:00 pm – (117 min) – Trailer

Synopsis: Beautifully filmed, impeccably portrayed, the feature film “Pearl”, a production of the Chickasaw Nation, brings to life the endearing story of Pearl Carter Scott – Chickasaw aviatrix. Elijah DeJesus, in her first lead role, brings Pearl into being for the film audience. A spunky 12 year old Pearl soars as she befriends world renowned pilot Wiley Post, which introduces her to a love for flying and to becoming the youngest pilot in American aviation history.

Raised in the late 1920’s in Marlow, Oklahoma, Pearl encountered her share of obstacles. This Chickasaw girl rises above adversity, takes on responsibility and, with the guidance of her father, holds fast to her ‘never give up’ attitude. The feature film, ‘Pearl’ is a welcoming breath of fresh air for audiences of all ages. The story of Pearl Carter Scott is one worth telling, as it is inspiring, heartfelt and true to the character of Pearl.

This film is sure to spur encouragement in the hearts and minds of its viewers. No matter ones age, or background, Pearl reminds us of the resilience, determination and drive we all have within us – that dreams are possible when you ‘never give up’.
