Told through original performance footage and the artists' own words, the program explores health and fitness issues that plague Native youth on and off the reservations.

Artists profiled in the documentary include pop-diva, "Urban Indian," Jana Mashonee; classically trained ballet dancers Michael Greyeyes and Santee Smith; Grammy winners Robert Mirabal and Bill Miller; funky R&B songstress Martha Redbone; Painted Sky's own Northstar dancers and a host of others.

Part performance, part behind-the-scenes footage and interviews, the documentary profiles the personal stories of the artists in their own words--weaving a narrative through the performances that lends gift and personality to the beautiful artistry showcased.
