In this animated short blending past history with contemporary performance, a teen boy sits in a dingy living room idly watching television. When he sees a dance and rap program that transports him to a strange prairie land, he is brought face-to-face with his Native American heritage in the form of the mystical Red Road and a Cree hoop dancer of the First Nations.
Special features: Additional footage and an in-depth interview with world champion hoop daner Dallas Arcand!
