Watching: Borrowed from the Earth

Overview

Tells the story of the powerful connection between the Blackfeet people and horses, and how that life-giving relationship remains alive today. Throughout their histories, both horse and Indigenous people have been corralled - horses by fences, and Indigenous people onto reservations. Yet centuries-long attempts to subdue both ultimately strengthened the bond between them. Saddle up for a visually poetic journey from the origin story of the horse to the modern day Indian Relay Race. Filmed on the Blackfeet Reservation in Browning, Montana.
