Free Film Night
“Doe Boy”
Thursday, November 19th, 6:00—8:00 pm
Mesa College, Room G-101
Set in the heart of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, Doe Boy tells the story of Hunter, a young Native American whose teen angst is compounded by his confusing cultural identity. Though his mother is a full Cherokee, his father Hank is not and, to make matters worse, Hunter has hemophilia, long considered a white man's disease among Native Americans. Feeling himself to be an outsider even in his Cherokee community and unable to physically connect with others his age because of his hemophilia, Hunter begins to act out, further driving a wedge between himself, his family, and his community. Both a thoughtful coming of age drama and a meaningful look at the often contradictory and confusing notions of cultural identity in modern America,DOE BOY is both entertaining and thought provoking.
