Exclusive: Freestyle Digital Media has picked up North American rights to the sports documentary Big Crow from director Kris Kaczor, slating it for release on VOD platforms on August 1.
Premiering at last year’s Santa Barbara Film Festival, the film tells the story of how young Lakota basketball star SuAnne Big Crow became an activist, and how her message of hope continues to help her people reclaim their culture 30 years after her tragic death. Part biography and part social commentary, the doc is a tale about the power of hope in the most destitute place in America, South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
Inila Wakan wrote the pic and Kevin Bayson produced, with Walter Matteson aboard as EP. Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire it with Alex Nohe of Blood Sweat and Honey. View a trailer for the film below.
