Young Directors Of 'Remaining Native' And 'Under The Flags, The Sun'

We visit with a couple of emerging filmmakers -- Paige Bethmann, director of Remaining Native, and Juanjo Pereira, director of Under the Flags, the Sun. Bethmann's film centers on a teenage Indigenous athlete, Ku Stevens, who dreams of running track for the University of Oregon, a goal that would take him away from the Nevada reservation where he grew up. Pereira's film reframes archive footage to explore the military dictatorship of Gen. Alfredo Stroessner, who ruled Paraguay from 1954 to 1989. We recorded both interviews at the Camden International Film Festival in Maine, where Pereira and Bethmann screened their impressive work. Learn more about your ad choices.
