Aroview: Entirely made and funded by Native American Indians, this is both a fresh, palpably authentic portrait of a minority culture and an engrossing road-movie, following two Coeur d'Alene Indian lads off their Idaho reservation and onto the trail of a long-lost father.

Adapted from Sherman Alexie's book 'Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven' this resonates a humanistic, yet shrewd viewpoint wholly unique.
