"Follow Me Home"

Follow Me Home
(1997, 140 min.) US
Director: Peter Bratt (Quechua)
Co-Executive Producer: Gary Rhine
Actors: Benjamin Bratt (Quechua), Alfre Woodard, Jesse Borrego, Calvin Levels, and Steve Reevis (Blackfeet)

Four L.A. artists set out on a quest to paint the White House in rainbow colors, resonant with the multi-colors of their band—African-American, Chicano, and American Indian—and with the diverse incentives each carries. The film expressively portrays the dreams of the group's leader Tudee. A chance encounter with Civil War "re-enactors" intensifies into danger, and the deeper meaning of the dreaming affects the outcome.
