13 Years in the Making ...
John Olshefski, a film professor from Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, approched Delwin Fiddler in 2008 to tell the story of his life on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. His raw footage tells the story of Delwin's his impoverished life on the reserveration to being a Boarding School survior to creating Native Nations Dance Theater in Philadelphia, PA, followed by a tour around the world, and performing for two U.S. Presidents and the Royals in England. Their relationship and the filming of this documentary has spanned 15 years of friendship, the death of Delwin's father, the birth of Delwin's daughter, Kassi and multiple trips back and forth to the reservation to chronicle the life of this one Native Indian man's journey. The documentary wrapped up filming in 2022 and it is currently in post-production. We anticipate the marketing and release of this powerful documentary some time toward the end of 2024. This inspiring 90 minute film will show how one man's story can easily be every man's story. Without Arrows made it's debut on PBS as part of their Independent Lens Series on January 13, 2025 and will be available to watch until April 2025.
