The Spirit of Sacajawea
Showtime: Friday, noon - 1:30 p.m. • 35 Below at Asheville Community Theatre
Sacajawea was the only woman and the only Indian with the Lewis and Clark expedition. More than 200 years after their great adventure, we revisit her story with respect to her ancestors and tribal affiliations. The documentary explores themes of destruction, rebirth and deep respect for nature and the environment. Original songs and an original post-score by Native American artists provide heartfelt underpinning to the story.
