Dickinson State University (DSU) will celebrate Native American Heritage Month with a screening of the film The Rider Nov. 28, at 6 p.m. in Beck Auditorium.
“The selected film will be shown to celebrate Native American culture and to recognize its regional significance to the Dakotas,” said Multicultural Committee Advisor Dr. Steven Doherty.
Based on a true story, The Rider stars breakout Brady Jandreau as a once rising figure of the rodeo circuit warned that his competition days are over after a tragic riding accident in which he suffered a near fatal head injury. Back home, Brady finds himself wondering what he has to live for when he can no longer do what gives him a sense of purpose: to ride and compete. In an attempt to regain control of his fate, Brady undertakes a search for new identity and tries to redefine his idea of what it means to be a man in the heartland of America.
This film is rated R for language and drug abuse. Content will be inappropriate for children. For more information about this event, contact Steven Doherty at 701-483-2965 or steven.doherty@dickinsonstate.edu.
