AUGUST
30th- "THE RETURN OF NAVAJO BOY"
In 1997 a white man identifying himself as Bill Kennedy from Chicago showed up in Monument Valley with a silent film called "Navajo Boy" which he says his late father produced in the 1950s. Seeking to understand his father's work on the Navajo Reservation, Kennedy returns the film to the people in it. When Cly family matriarch, Elsie Mae Cly Begay, watches the film she is amused to see herself as a young girl and delights in identifying other members of her family. Elsie recognizes her late mother in the old film as well as her infant brother, John Wayne Cly, who was adopted by white missionaries in the 1950s.
