This Indigenous Peoples Day, we're showing SEEDS, a thriller that captures the strength of our Indigenous women/femmes in the continued movement to combat the theft of traditional food and knowledge systems by actively protecting these practices, against all odds ✊🏾

A Mohawk woman is hired as a social media influencer but gets caught in a deadly cat-and-mouse game, as she's forced to go to war to preserve her people's heritage from corporate interests.
