Jim Heilmann of Minot has been a supporter of North Dakota Human Rights Film and Art Festival (NDHRFF) for the last seven presentations at Oak Park Theater in Minot. Heilmann said he rents the space at Oak Park Theater and invites presenters and guest speakers to visit the community and share in their experiences in making these films and talk about their different topics. Tonight, Oak Park Theater will show four films from NDHRFF from Fargo. The event begins at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Heilmann said Sean Coffman, an award-winning filmmaker; Stuart James, a Native American hip-hop artist; and Jennifer Martel, coordinator on the Standing Rock Reservation, will be the guest presenters. The four films that will be shown are “RAHYNE,” “Restoring Neske emane,” “Firecracker Bullets” and “Oyate.” Heilmann said the films encompass topics on seeking the truth in Native American histories and injustices. The films and presenters will highlight Native American children sent to boarding schools and, more recently, stories from the Dakota Access Pipeline protest.
