Film Screening

Join Magdalena Magazine in a pre-sales fundraising event for Issue Three on Saturday November 3 at from 5-8pm. A light organic and local dinner will be provided before the screening of STANDING SILENT NATION - a film about the historic Oglala Lakota White Plume Family who are direct descendants of Crazy Horse who hosted the Trail of Truth and riders on Pine Ridge Reservation. 20% of proceeds will go to the Horse Spirit Society non-profit.

about the movie: What does a family have to endure to create a future for itself?

When the Oglala Sioux Tribe passed an ordinance separating industrial hemp from its illegal cousin, marijuana, Alex White Plume and his family glimpsed a brighter future. Having researched hemp as a sustainable crop that would grow in the inhospitable soil of the South Dakota Badlands, the White Plumes envisioned a new economy that would impact the 85% unemployment rate on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
