What happens when you bring together 4 diverse young men from the urban U.S. East Coast, and 4 young men from a Cheyenne Indian Reservation, and introduce them in a great outdoors setting to develop as men ? 'Stands Alone Warrior' chronicles some initial culture shock and confusion, followed by surprising personal growth and awakenings. Experience this life-changing adventure with these young men amidst the scenery of the American West, complete with bucking broncos, fly-fishing, buffalo sightings, a Sweat Lodge experience, and the wonder of Native American culture. In this modern coming of age story, young people break down some perceived barriers, and explore common societal problems. Hear from the voices of these teenagers, their daily struggles and the recurring need of a strong male role model in their lives. This film, made possible by Matt Light of the New England Patriots, and The Light Foundation, and lovingly narrated by Judy Muller of ABC News, will touch your heart, energize your soul, and rejuvenate your faith in Generation Next.
