Little Singer (2026)
Director: Maurizio Benazzo
On the vast horizons of Diné territory, the weight of ancestral wounds reverberates across time. Here, a healer and a humble schoolhouse stand as quiet forces, where sorrow and strength intertwine through melody, wisdom, and k’é—the sacred bond of kinship. Little Singer rises from this earth, holding fast to the old ways and passing the living medicine of connection to the generations ahead.
More About This Film
