SYNOPSIS
An Authobiographical tale, in keeping with oral tradition,
Western Civilization and acculturation


LIVING IN TWO WORLDS
Who and What is Scrubbed White?

This short experimental film joins together the Native American ”Indian” history or oral traditional story telling with contemporary images, both abstract and representational, evoking and representing memory and thought.

It poignantly addresses while questioning issues of socio-political values and ethics with underlying post modern and politically correct notions of western thought, the PC era.

Living in two worlds, Scrubbed White's character faces the challenges and barriers of preconceived, antiquated, and stereotypical views of Native Americans in contemporary Western Society, while struggling for his place, being an educated man of color in the United States.

Striving to keep his Native American Culture, Spirituality and beliefs alive within himself, he finds that he must keep that part of himself secretly hidden, to survive, and in order to participate and become accepted in a Western homogenized ”Scrubbed White” world.

The Character is torn, confused dismayed and indeed questions his place and existence within the larger scheme of reality.

Both provoking and enlightening, this film enrages its audience with an educated approach, asking while not preaching to its audience to question, evaluate and examine for themselves, WHO and What is Scrubbed White?

It is the artist's wish that the images and spirit of the film will touch the viewer's very soul and social consciousness.
