Smoke Signals (1998) **
A humorous road movie about two Coeur d'Alene Indians undertaking a spiritual journey from Idaho to Arizona. En route, they get on each other's nerves, often with hilarious consequences. A well-deserved double winner of the Audience Award and the Filmmakers Trophy at the Sundance Film Festival. It's the first full-length feature film written, directed, co-produced and acted entirely by Native Americans.
