A film and discussion presented by the Native American Rights Fund (NARF), “American Outrage” documents the fight of two grandmothers, Carrie Dann and Mary Dann, against the U.S. government's unlawful attempts to take over traditional Shoshone land in Nevada, part of 60 millions acres guaranteed to them in the 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley. Over the years the Dann sisters have endured steady harassment from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and they have squared off against international gold mining corporations and the nuclear industry. Their courage and perseverance in asserting the rights of indigenous peoples have brought them numerous awards, including the 1993 Alternative Nobel Prize and the International Right Livelihood Award. A Denver Justice Peace Committee's (DJPC) Salon Discussion Series.

Presumably founded on the third Thursday of May of 2002, The Emerging Filmmakers Project offers subsidized workshops and a monthly Screening Night featuring films and talkback by regional filmmakers. The Project also now receives sponsorship from Breckenridge Brewery and 16:9 Film Magazine (I'm not sure 16:9 is still around... perhaps only their deep pockets remain). The Project has developed consistently large audiences and gained the respect and participation of top local filmmakers like Daniel Junge (2002 Tribeca award for Best Documentary), Mary-Lyn Chambers, David and Denise Strong, Laura Mansfield, Ray Charles, Sheila Schroeder, and our own Tony Shawcross.
