In this podcast The Boston Sisters are talking with filmmaker Billy Luther (Navajo, Hopi, Laguna Pueblo) about his 2023 feature film FRYBREAD FACE AND ME (available on Netflix). The conversation highlights the film's themes of identity, family, and cultural heritage, and the impact of executive producer Taika Waititi. The conversation also touches on Luther's upcoming TV series adaptation of his 2007 documentary MISS NAVAJO.
Set in 1990 FRYBREAD FACE AND ME follows 11-year-old Benny from San Diego, and his precocious cousin Dawn (aka Frybread Face) as they bond during a summer with their Diné-speaking grandmother at her ranch on the Navajo reservation in Arizona. It’s a transformative summer for Benny and Dawn who are learning more about their family’s past, their culture, and themselves.
