Young Lakota follows three young people on the Pine Ridge Reservation during a tumultuous political season that hinges on reproductive rights and tribal sovereignty.
Sunny Clifford, her twin sister Serena, and their neighbor, Brandon Ferguson, share a common dream of helping to create a better future for their tribe.
When South Dakota passes a law criminalizing abortion, their tribal President, Cecelia Fire Thunder, challenges it with a threat to build a clinic on the reservation, drawing Sunny, Serena, and Brandon into a political storm that changes the course of each of their lives.
Marion Lipschutz is a producer, director and writer. Her award-winning films have been distributed theatrically and broadcast on the major networks. Rose Rosenblatt wears multiple hats as a producer, director, and editor. The two met while working on a series about linguistics, and in 1991, they formed Incite Pictures and the non-profit Cine Qua Non. Together they have produced long format documentaries on social and cultural issues.
