Summary

"War Pony" had its world premiere at last year's Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Camera d'Or for best debut film for co-directors/writers Gina Gammell and Riley Keough. The film follows the intertwined lives of two young Lakota boys living on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Ema Sasic was fortunate to get the opportunity to speak with not only Gina Gammell and Riley Keough but also co-writer Franklin Sioux Bob and producer Willi White (all recorded before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes occurred) about their work on the film, what the movie means to them, and more. Please take a listen and be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in limited release from Momentum Pictures and is available on demand. Thank you, and enjoy!
