Mother Tongue Film Festival Review: Ada Blackjack Rising

Review of Ada Blackjack Rising by Catholic University’s The Tower

One of Mother Tongue’s shortest pieces now available for viewing is entitled Ada Blackjack Rising, and despite its run-time being only about six minutes, it packs a punch.

Ada Blackjack Rising, an experimental dramatic short directed by Brice Habeger, brings together the current inhabitants of Northern Alaska with a legendary woman from the same land.
