Smoke Signals
92
Two young Native Americans — a stoic, angry athlete and a talkative, glasses-wearing storyteller — road-trip to collect a dead father's ashes and confront their shared past.
Why watch: The first feature written, directed, and co-produced by Native Americans. Now in the National Film Registry.
