Congrats to ‘Shadowtrain,’ Indiewire’s Project of the Week!
Thanks to your votes, rockers-reaching-out doc “Shadowtrain” won this weekend’s Project of the Week contest!
Congratulations to “Shadowtrain” director Vincent Nicastro. The filmmaker will receive a digital distribution consultation from SnagFilms and the film is now officially a candidate for Project of the Month. That winner will be awarded with a consultation from the Sundance Institute.
Here’s what the project’s about:
Shadowtrain will illuminate the cost of the destruction of the Native American community; to both the indigenous population as well as to their European conquerors. The documentary will reveal the qualities inherent in indigenous people’s world views that should be recognized and adopted if we all, collectively, intend to not only survive, but to find a way to live happier, more meaningful lives. While engaging a wide variety of opinions from notable activists, authors, artists, elders and shaman, politicians and government officials, clergy, teachers and everyday people, the film will reveal its message through a powerful music-driven road trip.
