She Holds Up the Stars, is about a mesmerizing journey of a young Indigenous girl who unexpectedly bonds with a wild horse, cruelly broken by a rancher and his son. Amidst rising tensions, we witness her navigate a challenging world, revealing an inner strength that shapes her connection to home, land, and heart.
