Pure Grit (2021)
Chronicling three years in the life of a young Native American bareback horse racer, her dogged determination, and the relationships that sustain her. In the remote Wyoming wilderness of the Wind River reservation, Sharmaine and her girlfriend Savannah begin to build a life for themselves. They hope for better. But the atmosphere at home soon turns toxic and the young lovers are forced to leave for the industrial Commerce City, Denver.
