“Kind Hearted Women”
All day Monday-Friday, Nov. 18-22
In a special two-part series, acclaimed filmmaker David Sutherland creates an unforgettable portrait of Robin Charboneau, a 32-year-old divorced single mother, and Oglala Sioux women living on North Dakota’s Spirit Lake Reservation. Sutherland follows Robin over three years as she struggles to raise her two children, further her education and heal herself from the wounds of sexual abuse she suffered as a child.

Due to the length of the documentary, “Kind Hearted Women” will run in the Social Science Building Lounge in a continuous loop.
