The Dakota Indian Foundation has given a green light to LLC’s envisioned documentary film on Lakota language revitalization. A DIF grant is funding the first stage of this long-term, four-year project. We hope to make a film that can re-write the public understanding of language loss and recovery, and make the language as vibrant for general audiences as it is for the Lakota.
Part of our vision for the project is to find Lakota children and youth to follow for four years, to observe their personal journeys with learning the language.
The first stage of production, already begun, involves filming Lakota families hoping to raise their children in the language. LLC will be searching for a well-known documentary director for the project.
