    • Abstract:
      This article focuses on motion picture "Follow Me Home," an independent film written and directed by Peter Bratt. The film was premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 1996. The film is the story of four male artists in the Southwest-- two Chicanos, a Native American and an African-American-- who decide to drive across America to Washington, D.C., and literally paint their own "vibrant colors" on the White House. On the road, they join Evey, played by Alfre Woodard, a woman with a package on a strange journey of her own, and a group of cavalry buffs busily re-enacting the nineteenth-century Indian Wars. Bratt, of South American Indian ancestry, uses the trip to Washington as a metaphor for the journey of people of color in the America.
