The film, “Fighting Indians,” is set in a “divided town where the mascot debate exposes centuries-old abuses while still asking if reconciliation is possible,” according to a description of the film.
The film’s two directors said their purpose in making the movie was not only to educate people on the issue surrounding Native American mascots, but to frame the debate “in terms of what it means for native people.”
