AITAMAAKO'TAMISSKAPI NATOSI: BEFORE THE SUN
A thrilling portrait of a young Siksika woman, and the deep bonds between her father and family, takes place in the golden plains of Blackfoot Territory as she prepares for one of the most dangerous horse races in the world - on bareback. Participating in a sport for the truly brave, Logan Red Crow is an Indian Relay rider who vaults from horse to horse in short, exhilarating races. She is a champion in the making: besides her skill and sheer grit, Logan has a loving family, an elite group of horses, and a home on her ancestral lands. These are invaluable, but this rider will need more to achieve victory.
BEFORE THE SUN offers the dual pleasures of serenity and suspense: lyrical immersion in rural life alternates with thrilling race footage. As Logan pushes toward her goal, the connections between animal and human, family and community, ancestral tradition and contemporary life, are profound and lasting.
