Shouting Secrets is a hopeful and heartwarming, universal story taking place in a present day Native American family. It's a story that is at once about the constancy and the fragility of love, as well as the importance of family.
Acting
Tantoo Cardinal and Gil Birmingham carry decades of unspoken pain in every glance.
Writing
Dialogue that actually sounds like rez families talking, not Hollywood's idea of it.
Production
Authentic Native creative team behind and in front of camera — rare in 2011.
Director
Korinna Sehringer
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
One of the few 2010s dramas where Native characters simply exist as complex humans, not symbols — directed by a non-Native woman who actually collaborated with the community rather than speaking over it.
Chaske Spencer (Wesley) was fresh off the Twilight franchise; this role was his deliberate pivot to grounded Indigenous storytelling. The contrast is *chef's kiss*.
