 ABOUT FOLLOW ME HOME\n- WINNER  Best Feature Film Audience Award, San 
 Francisco International Film Festival 1996\n- OFFICIAL SELECTION  1996 
 Sundance Film Festival\n- BEST DIRECTOR AWARD 1996 American Indian Film 
 Festival, San Francisco\n\nPulitzer Prize winning author Alice Walker calls 
 Follow Me Home "a work of genius!"\n\nPETER BRATT(Quechua) wrote and 
 directed  FOLLOW ME HOME, a defiant, humorous, poetic tale exploring race 
 and identity in America.  By weaving together traditions of Native, 
 African and Latin cultures, the film tells the story of  four artists and 
 their journey across the American landscape. Tudee (Jesse Borrego), Abel 
 (Peter's brother Benjamin Bratt), Kaz (Calvin Levels), and Freddy (Steve 
 Reevis) are joined by Evey (Alfre Woodard), an enigmatic African American 
 woman on a journey of her own. (The film is 1 hour, 40 minutes and is 
 followed by a post screening discussion with Peter Bratt)\n\n"This is an 
 incredible movie: The first American film emerging direct from the heart 
 and the headset of The New American Majority."\n             
 -June Jordan, award-winning African American poet, essayist and political 
 activist\n\n" Follow Me Home is a dazzling film that not only confronts the 
 nightmare of today's dehumanized, racist society, but also suggests how we 
 might build a different world.\n                - Elizabeth 
 Martinez, award-winning Chicana writer, activist and professor\n\n"Follow 
 Me Home is a wonderful gift...it is a breathtaking journey through the 
 present, the past and toward the future. To whatever extent "American" fits 
 into --or collides with-- your identity, you must see this 
 film."\n                - Angela Davis, scholar, activist, 
 author\n\n"This is a film for reflection, discussion and revelation. Do not 
 miss it!"\n                - Dr. Claudia Highbaugh, Chaplain, 
 Harvard Divinity School\n\n"Follow Me Home is a film of rare exception and 
 power. Seeing it is to participate in a ceremony of memory, justice, 
 reclamation and creation - a new, and simultaneously very old, vision of 
 home."\n                - Jane Caputi, Professor of American 
 Studies, University of New Mexico\n\n" A terrific Film! Benjamin Bratt and 
 Alfre Woodard head a remarkable cast."\n                - 
 Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC\n\n"A spellbinding and often humourous look into the 
 psyche of this country is provided though strong individual performances... 
 this may be one of the most interesting films any of us have seen in 
 awhile."\n                - Joyce Young, San Francisco Bay
