An Exploration of Race & Identity from Director-Writer Peter Bratt
Peter Bratt(Quechua), of South American Indian ancestry, wrote and directed "Follow Me Home," a defiant, humorous, poetic tale exploring race and identity.
Weaving together traditions of Native, African and Latin cultures, the film tells the story of four artists and their journey across the American landscape. Tudee (Jesse Borrego), Abel (Peter's brother Benjamin Bratt), Kaz (Calvin Levels and Freddy (Steve Reevis) are joined by Evey (Alfre Woodard) an enigmatic African American woman on a journey of her own.
The film earned Bratt the Best Director award at the 1996 American Indian Film Festival and the Best Feature Film Audience Award at the 1996 San Francisco International Film Festival. It was also an Official Selection in the 1996 Sundance Film Festival.
Native activist Lakota Harden (see link below to her bio) accompanies the film (1 hour, 40 minutes) and afterwards leads a engaging post-screening discussion.
