The first movie I watched at the Hawaii International Film Festival was "Seventh Fire" by Director: Jack Pettibone Riccobono.
This film was about a Native American Rob Brown who was in prison five times and a young protege of his and how the drug culture that once haunted Rob in his reservation is still continuing in the reservation with today's youth. This was a powerful documentary a must see.
I think the highlight of this film for me was I got to meet the director and star Rob Brown and hear their personal accounts on how this documentary was made and filmed in different times and how long the process took. It was also fascinating to see that Rob had turned himself and is a positive leader within his tribe on the reservation.
A must see, go check out more at the website.
