Apple TV+ has released a trailer for Fancy Dance, the upcoming drama from director Erica Tremblay.
Oscar-nominee Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) stars as Jax, a woman caring for her niece Roki (Isabel Deroy-Olson) after her sister goes missing, but after Jax risks losing custody to Roki’s grandfather, the pair head out on a road trip to search for the missing woman, while avoiding the authorities and preparing the young girl for an upcoming powwow. Watch the trailer below…
Since her sister’s disappearance, Jax (Lily Gladstone) has cared for her niece Roki (Isabel Deroy-Olson) by scraping by on the Seneca-Cayuga reservation in Oklahoma. Every spare minute goes into finding her missing sister while also helping Roki prepare for an upcoming powwow. At the risk of Jax losing custody to Roki’s grandfather, Frank (Shea Whigham), the pair hit the road and scour the backcountry to track down Roki’s mother in time for the powwow. What begins as a search gradually turns into a far deeper investigation into the complexities and contradictions of Indigenous women moving through a colonized world while at the mercy of a failed justice system.
Joining Lily Gladstone and Isabel Deroy-Olson in the cast are Ryan Begay, Crystle Lightning, Audrey Wasilewski and Shea Whigham.
Fancy Dance arrives on Apple TV+ on June 28th.
