Every second Monday evening of each month, Vision Maker Media and The Ross Media Arts Center present free in-person public screenings that feature Native American films by and about Native Americans and Alaska Natives. The Native American Film Series showcases stories about cultural heritage, art, history, music, civic leadership, youth, and more.

Coming Round
The spectacular Sonoma pacific coast and the mighty redwood forests are iconic elements of California’s and American identity. And forever intertwined with these inspiring landscapes is the cultural richness of the Native American tribes that have lived for thousands of years along the coastal bluffs and forested waterways. In December 2016, 700 acres of land was returned to the Kashia Pomo Indians from which they had been separated nearly 200 years before. (1 hour, 30 minutes)

The film will be followed by a pre-recorded Q&A with J. Mitchell Johnson moderated by Georgiana Lee.

J. MITCHELL JOHNSON, Coming Home Co-producer/Director/Writer/Camera Operator/Editor, worked for four-time documentary Academy Award winner Charles Guggenheim after finishing the cinema graduate program at USC.

GEORGIANA LEE, a proud member of the Diné (Navajo) tribe, holds a Bachelor’s in Journalism and Theater from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska.
