Description:
The Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts presents a film screening of Indian Relay with a Q&A Session on Wednesday, October 1, 2014 at the Lyric Theatre.

Set against the sweeping panoramic vistas of the high plains, "Indian Relay" explores one of the most competitive, dangerous, and thrilling forms of horse racing practiced anywhere in the world today.

"Indian Relay" follows teams from the Shoshone-Bannock Nation in Idaho, and the Crow and Blackfeet Nations, both of Montana, as they prepare for and compete across a grueling Indian relay season — all hearts set on the glory and honor of winning the National Championships. While they are rivals on the track, the young relay racers share a deep bond through their love of the sport and pride in their Native traditions. As the film traces triumphs and setbacks during the course of the racing season, their strength and determination shine through, and serves as a beacon of hope for the families and their communities.

Faculty member and writer/director Charles Dye will conduct a Q&A immediately after the screening.
