In Marissa Maltz’s Jazzy, the enchanting sequel to The Unknown Country, audiences are treated to a heartfelt exploration of childhood in the picturesque landscapes of South Dakota.
This delightful film, which premiered at Tribeca, follows the titular character through the various seasons of her life from ages 8 to 12, capturing the essence of what it means to be young, free and full of wonder.
The film opens with Jazzy (Jasmine Bearkiller Shangreaux) at West Elementary, where she is seen engaging in the simple joys of childhood — riding the school bus with her best friend, Syriah (Syriah Fool Head Means), and playing with friends in the schoolyard.
