Barking Water   (2009 - DVD)
Director: Sterlin Harjo
Starring: Richard Ray Whitman, Casey Camp-Horinek, Jon Proudstar, Aaron Riggs

A uniquely delicate and moving road movie, Barking Water uses the weathered and beautiful backdrop of rural Oklahoma to tell the story of Frankie (Richard Ray Whitman), a proud Native American attempting to reconnect with his estranged family. Released from the hospital, but still very ill, he hits the road with his ex-lover Irene (Casey Camp-Horinek), who acts as Frankie's nurse but refuses to offer forgiveness for his past indiscretions. But the journey really begins as they travel through the sun-dappled Oklahoman country to reunite with Frankie's daughter and grandchild, encountering various eccentric personalities, from motor-mouthed nephews to a philosophical pot-smoking loner, along the way.

With its nuanced vision of Native American life, its rich, pastoral cinematography, and the deeply felt performances of Whitman and Camp-Horinek, director Sterlin Harjo has created a film that cements his place as one of the vital voices in American Independent cinema today.

Lovely movie about the enduring love of an estranged man and woman traveling across Oklahoma. She left him years ago, but when he's found to be terminally ill, she agrees to drive him to make amends with his daughter. As they travel, he is making amends to her. People can grow wiser, though we all wonder why it takes so long. A universal tale about mistakes, living, loving and dying.
