Fun Facts From Behind the Scenes:
Georgia first heard Matte Wilson speak at SXSW in Austin, Texas and was moved by the story of the Food Sovereignty Initiative. When she had the opportunity to tell the story she reached out and the Lakota community welcomed her and helped create an itinerary that would allow us to capture all of the content in a short time. The most challenging part was finding the buffalo, they had migrated to the farthest field possible, which was a 3 hour ATV ride! The ranch managers had never taken visitors that far afield, but we were grateful they did it for us. On the way back, one of the ATV's broke down, so we somehow managed to fit 4 people and all the camera gear into one ATV to get back!
