We are partnering with OCF to showcase the Original Film “Living An American Dream” for rural communities! Our next show is on March 1st 2025 in Baker City!
Contact us about bringing this event to your area!
Through the Creative Heights program, we sponsor the presentation of a documentary film, by former Drexel program participant, Clare McKay. She is a woman of color filmmaker from rural Eastern Oregon.
“Living an American Dream” is a fabulous film (approx. 45 minutes) covering the life of Clare and her 6 siblings. Being adopted from Haiti and being raised on a ranch in Juntura Oregon, this program speaks to young women, cowboys & cowgirls, youth of color, and those who feel limited by their location, gender, or station in society.
After each film, a Q&A with her follows. She always likes to reiterate her message
“It doesn’t matter your skin color, it doesn’t matter your sex, just as long as you’re a good person, you want it bad enough, and are willing to go out and get it. That’s the American dream.”=
