I Feel Blue (Nita'ikkihinii' taki)

Is a powerful and slightly controversial documentary that tells a story that links Native American and mixed-race African-Native American musicians in the formation of the Blues and Jazz. Examining the shared experience that brought Native American and African American musical expressions together exposes the unreported historical parallels between these two colonially oppressed cultures.

A vibrant tapestry of Native culture, challenging the misconceptions and highlighting the often-unnoticed contributions of Native people. This aspect of the film exposes the long-standing neglect of First Nation Peoples, ultimately shedding light on the need for recognition, respect, and equal opportunities
