The Bartow Project.
Synopsis: Douk is a historical fiction drama based in the 1900’s. It tells the story of a young Native girl, Irene, who deals with a difficult reality of her and her sister being taken away from their family and sent to boarding school, where they will be assimilated into the western culture. This means that once this happens, they will no longer be able to practice their language, culture, and traditions. In order to prevent this from becoming a true reality, Irene’s parents hatch a plan to save them.
- 4:30 - 5:30 PM The Bartow Project: A Panel VIRTUAL EVENT.
Filmmaker and Co-Artistic Director Michelle Hernandez moderates a discussion about The Bartow Project with family and friends of Wiyot artist Rick Bartow (1948-2016) to discuss his life, work and the community-engaged project between the Wiyot Tribe and Dell'Arte to bring his legacy to Humboldt County.
