"Finding Our Own Way" continues the powerful exploration of Native Indigenous youth experiences in urban environments, building on themes introduced in the nationally awarded student documentary "Walking Between Two Worlds."
In this 2025 follow-up film, high school filmmakers from the Billings Indigenous Education Department take a new approach - turning the camera on themselves and each other. Through peer-to-peer interviews, students share their own stories, challenges, and triumphs of maintaining cultural identity while navigating contemporary urban life, creating an intimate and authentic portrait of their generation's experience.
