In case anyone’s wondering is because getting an x ray once is so barely harmful that it rounds to zero but standing in front of an x ray emitter 40 hours a week for years will definitely kill you
If I go to the bar and have one drink with the bartender I’ll be fine. If the bartender has a drink with every patron then they will die
… I honestly never considered that. It seems so obvious but never crossed my mind. Thank you, twinkcommunist and iridepigs.
There is a movie that recently came out called “Woman Walks Ahead” starring Jessica Chastain and Micheal Greyeyes that tells the story of Catherine Weldon, an artist, and activist who painted Sitting Bull in 1890.
The movie has a female director and the cast and production team was very conscientious of how they portrayed the Lakota people and their culture.
An exciting step in the right depiction, right?
Unfortunately, the decision has been made to give the movie a VERY limited (and seemingly random) release with only a handful of theaters showing it across the United States for the next couple of days (July 3 – July 5). On top of that, they released the movie on i-tunes and Direct TV with very little promotion beyond the interviews the actors have done, hurting what little theatrical release they might have had. Which is Tragic, this movie was made to be seen in a theater!
When you have a minority led project that portrays its Native characters as real relatable people and the distributors just happen to decide to shoot it in the foot by not giving it a wide release I can’t help but think… What’s really going on here?
So this is my plea out to all of you; if you live in any following areas and a considering your movie option for the next few days, please go support Woman Walks Ahead! If you don’t but still want to support the film, consider buying it on i-tunes or talk about it on social media! Reblog this post so people who do live near the right towns might be able to support the movie!

The only way Hollywood is going to know that we want more movies with positive representation, female directors, female leads, etc is if we support the movies that aim to show it. I really don’t want studio and distribution executives to use this beautiful movie they set-up to fail as an excuse for why they don’t support minority lead projects in the future.
Thank you for your time and please pass on this post!
