This short is the remarkable creation of a 15-year-old Navajo woman.

Grab is an intimate portrait of three families preparing for Grab Day – a 300-year-old tradition celebrated by residents of the Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico where traditional Native and contemporary Western cultures meet. In this community-wide prayer of abundance, thanksgiving, and renewal, residents honor individual family members by throwing food items and gifts from the rooftops of their homes to community members below.
