Community members joined WSIU for a free screening and discussion of the Independent Lens film Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World on Sunday, December 9 at 2:30pm at the Carbondale Public Library. The film is part of ITVS and WSIU’s film discussion series Indie Lens Pop-Up. Directed by Catherine Bainbridge and Alfonso Maiorana, Rumble brings to light a profound and missing chapter in the history of American music: the Indigenous influence. Featuring music icons Charley Patton, Mildred Bailey, Link Wray, Jimi Hendrix, Jesse Ed Davis, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Robbie Robertson, Randy Castillo, and Taboo, the program reveals how these pioneering Native musicians helped to shape the soundtracks of our lives.

A discussion followed led by Minnie and Eric Bandera. Minnie is a member of the Tlingit tribe in Alaska; Eric is a musician with a Master’s Degree in Music Theory and Composition. Guests shared their thoughts on music as a social and spiritual connector and discussed what it means to be a good neighbor. Said one guest, “Being a neighbor means, as taught, all things are connected. All lives are sacred.” Added another guest, “Being a neighbor means we all respect. We are all in this together and music is a bridge.” Additional Indie Lens Pop-Up screenings will be held in the spring of 2019. Stay tuned to WSIU and Previews for details.
