In recognition of Native American Heritage Month, CASCADIA International Women’s Film Festival is proud to announce the screening of “Nika And Madison” at 3 p.m. Sunday, November 16 at Firehouse Performing Arts Center in Bellingham. The film is the first solo feature from emerging Indigenous director Eva Thomas, a member of the Walpole Island First Nation in southwestern Ontario, Canada.

“Nika And Madison” centers on two young Indigenous women, Nika and Madison, as they re-evaluate their life and estranged friendship following a fateful encounter with police. Touching on topics such as systemic racism and police brutality it introduces audiences to a story that balances female friendship and agency.

CASCADIA has been committed to presenting films directed by Indigenous women filmmakers. A few years ago, the festival began presenting special screenings of films in November for Native American Heritage month.

“Nika And Madison” will play at 3 p.m. Sunday, November 16 the Firehouse Performing Arts Center, 1314 Harris Ave., Bellingham.
