Thursday, February 3, 2011 - 7:15pm Cine Guest speaker Frankie (Richard Ray Whitman) is dying. Irene (Casey Camp-Horinek hasn't forgiven him for his past. Racing against time to find their way home, Frankie needs help and Irene is the one he turns to. That Frankie is an American Indian dying in Indian country makes his homeward journey inherently symbolic: Just as the elderly couple drives their old Volvo wagon to a certain funeral, the old ways are dying, too. He must go home one last time. And, like so many times before, Irene is extending herself beyond her common sense. The two set out on a journey that becomes more than getting home; confronting the past, love, understanding, and self discovery. Barking Water is a tale of great love that looks at what brings us all together. It's a tale of home...and what it takes to get there. Following the screening, the filmmaker will engage in a discussion of the film , moderated by New York film critic and scholar George Robinson
