Two young women with serious expressions face forward, with one in the foreground and one slightly behind. The sun sets in the background, casting a warm glow. Both wear earrings and casual tops. The sky is filled with soft clouds.

About the Event

The Heart Stays tells the story of two Native American sisters who leave the traditions and safety of their Native nation to follow their own long-held dreams–the older one to attend a distinguished college and the younger one to become a rock star. Soon after leaving their beloved land and community their life journeys collide with racism, drugs, and violence, forcing the older teen to choose between her own life’s work and saving her sister’s life. 

Directed by Diane Fraher | Starring Nathalie Standingcloud, Sierra Kihega, and Irene Beddard
