The Sundance NEXT program highlights bold and innovative storytelling, presenting films like "East of Wall," a semi-biographical docu-fiction by Kate Beecroft. Set against the stark backdrop of South Dakota, it tells the story of Tabatha and Porshia Zimiga, a mother-daughter horse trading duo grappling with personal loss and community challenges. Their journey unfolds amidst high local suicide rates and financial instability, while they attempt to foster connections with troubled teens. The narrative beautifully portrays themes of grief, resilience, and the struggle for survival in harsh conditions, making it a standout at the festival.
"Not only does it treat us to new, exhilarating voices, we’re also often granted the most audacious filmmaking at the festival."
"Tabatha, whose sharp sidecut and determined eyes outline her undeniable presence, is not only known as a horse whisperer."
