This documentary has a really cool title, sort of a spin on Urban Cowboy. I also like it because it's about something that you don't see covered too much on the news or in other mainstream outlets. Nothing much happens, and nothing needs to. The novelty is in getting to see these lives unfold.
The focus of the film is Anthea Charlie, a 27-year-old Navajo woman who was raised off the reservation and in the city. Because of that, she doesn't speak the language, and in an amusing scene we see her trying to enunciate a hard-to-pronounce Navajo word. Anthea plans to raise her family off the reservation, but that doesn't mean she doesn't respect the people who stay on it.
The film's slow pace allows you the space to think about all the hardship the Navajo have gone through. In Anthea's shy face and quiet words, there's a lot of American history that's still unfolding to this day.
