Holy Water

Directed by Noor-un-nisa Touchon is about a spiritual path to enlightenment, while facing inner demons along the way and allowing inner guidance to lead the journey. The song is from Wakeself's posthumous album, "Ready To Live." The hip hop artist and community activist was killed by a drunk driver on Nov. 5 2019. He never got the opportunity to release his album and instead, his family released the project to honor the continuation of Wake's message. Produced in collaboration with the Institute of American Indian Arts, Holy Water was one of the last videos that Wakeself shot before his passing. The film was directed and produced by Wakeself's partner and collaborator, Noor-un-nisa Touchon.

Holy Water is included in the Music program and it screens with Adult Children Part II, Ego of a Nation, Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Modern Native, Pathways, and Eagle & Hawk Take the Stage.
