Scott Means plays the role of the son in "istinma/to rest," a short film about a Lakota man who finds forgiveness for his father and reconciles with him while breaking the cycle of trauma in the family. It's the first of a three-part trilogy set on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Jesse Short Bull co-wrote and co-produced "istinma/to rest." He's from Interior and a member of the Native Youth Leadership Alliance. He discovered his passion to make films about the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota people while attending Oglala Lakota College. Means and Short Bull discussed "istinma/to rest" which shows during the Black Hills Film Festival Thursday afternoon.
