Documentary Feature | USA | 2025 | English | 87 minutes
Ku Stevens, a 17-year-old Native American competitive runner, is determined to become a college athlete at his dream school. Outstriding all local competition and the bounds of his hometown in Northwest Nevada, Ku must push beyond his physical and regional limits to have a chance at recruitment. As he prepares to leave home for the first time, Ku finds deeper meaning in his sport as an opportunity to honor his great-grandfather, who escaped an abusive Indian boarding school by running 50 miles across the desert. Winner of the SXSW Documentary Feature Audience and Special Jury Awards, REMAINING NATIVE is an inspiring, emotional triumph from first-time feature filmmaker Paige Bethmann.
A Q&A with filmmakers is expected to follow both screenings.
(All talent attendance subject to change.)
