Join for a community screening and conversation with filmmaker Ivey Camille Manybeads-Tso about the award winning documentary, Powerlands

Powerlands is a documentary film where a young Navajo filmmaker investigates displacement of Indigenous people and devastation of the environment caused by the same chemical companies that have exploited the land where she was born. On this personal and political journey she learns from Indigenous activists across three continents. The film screening will be followed by a moderated discussion and Q & A with Ivey Camille Manybeads-Tso who is an award-winning Diné filmmaker, producer, director, script-writer, and actor. She is also a youth mentor and media arts workshop facilitator. She studied film at the prestigious Idyllwild Arts Academy and is best known for making the award winning film In the Footsteps of Yellow Woman and producing several youth-made documentary projects. She has been focusing on spreading media knowledge throughout Indigenous communities for the past five years.

This event is sponsored by The City of Toledo Human Relations Commission and Welcome TLC as part of Better Toledo, a personal and professional development series to ensure “you will do better in Toledo.”

Certificates of completion are available to participants who take part in three or more sessions in 2023.
