GME Presents Steve Bilich's NATIVE NEW YORKER as a Digital Site License

GME Presents Steve Bilich's NATIVE NEW YORKER as a Digital Site License

Shot before, during and after 9/11,  Steve Bilich's experimental short documentary Native New Yorker took several years of filming with a 1924 hand-cranked Cine-Kodak camera. It follows Shaman Trail Scout 'Coyote' as he takes a journey that transcends time, from Inwood Park (where the island was traded for beads and booze), down a native trail (now “Broadway”), and into lower Manhattan (a sacred burial ground, now including the newest natives of this island empire). 24 years since the 9/11 attacks,  Bilich's film remains as powerful and relevant as ever.
