A man of Native American descent contemplates what lessons he will pass
on to his newborn son in this heartfelt, expansive exploration of
fatherhood, identity, and legacy.
Based on the true story of the birth of his son, Be Brave, Be Brave, Be
Brave recalls the thoughts of author F. Anthony Falcon upon holding his
child after the baby and his wife endured a life-threatening labor
during Hurricane Harvey's landfall in Corpus Christi, Texas. Having felt
adrift from his Native roots, Falcon found himself with a deep desire to
understand his heritage so that he might better bestow it upon his son.
A meditation on what it means to be brave, this is the tale of little
Lakota's perilous arrival into the world, of Falcon's struggle to
reconnect with a heritage that was lost to him, and a father's attempt
to describe what it means to be a Native American man in America today.
