Love Medicine
What's it about
Have you ever felt the pull of family ties, even when they're tangled in secrets and heartbreak? Discover how two Ojibwe families navigate decades of passion, betrayal, and resilience, and what their story reveals about the enduring, and sometimes destructive, power of love. You'll explore the lives of the Kashpaws and Lamartines, whose fates are woven together across generations on a North Dakota reservation. Through their interconnected stories, you'll learn how shared history and cultural identity can offer strength in the face of hardship, and how a single act of "love medicine" can ripple through a community for years to come.
