Join HDG for a screening of the short film “We Ride for Her”. An Indigenous women’s motorcycle group rides to end the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women while a member of their community desperately searches for her missing sister and tries to heal her shattered family.
This documentary sheds light on the United States’ history of genocide and systemic oppression of Indigenous people and the continued dark reality of violence against and consistent devaluing of Indigenous women. Indigenous women and girls in the United States are more likely to experience violence than non-Indigenous women and girls. 83% of American Indian Alaska Natives experience violence in their lifetime while 80% of sexual violence is perpetrated by non-Indigenous people. The vast majority of women and children who have endured this never see their abusers brought to justice.
The film is directed by Prairie Rose Seminole & Katrina Lillian Sorrentino and Prairie Rose Seminole has offered to join our discussion remotely.
This film is offered to all at no charge, but any donations to defray our contribution to this organization are welcome.
