RESERVATION DOGS

This new comedy series follows the exploits of four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma who do everything they can to leave their small town and get to California. Reservation Dogs is a breakthrough in Indigenous representation. Every writer, director and series regular on the show is Indigenous.  Shout out to Devery Jacobs who takes on the role of Elora Danan -she makes sure the group is on track to get to California. Reservation Dogs premieres on FX ON HULU on August 9th. https://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/reservation-dogs
