Awaken
AWAKEN looks at the issues and challenges young people face growing up on the Quechan Nation's Fort Yuma Reservation in Southern California. The film tells the story of cousins Orlando and Kieran, whose love for metal music has not deterred them from learning their traditional songs and dances. Like most teenagers, these kids also have other interests. Ultimately, the film asks how do they see the Quechan culture fitting into their lives and as part of their future?
