Rob Nilsson and John Hanson’s Prairie Histories
Fiercely independent voices in American cinema, Rob Nilsson and John Hanson make films that capture the grit and resistance of ordinary Americans on the front lines of class struggle. Through their groundbreaking dramatic feature Northern Lights and the revelatory documentary shorts known as the Prairie Trilogy , Nilsson and Hanson excavate a radical past, chronicling the lives and work of early North Dakota socialists and finding hope, solidarity, and stirring contemporary resonance in stories of collective action.
