Four Sheets to the Wind

This coming-of-age drama set within the rhythms and landscapes of Oklahoma depicts a young man in search of his identity on the reservation and beyond. Featuring a performance of quiet intensity by Cody Lightning, the film delicately balances the pathos and humor inherent in this transitional community.
