"The Oklahoma City Museum of Art’s American Indian Cinema Showcase, co-presented with the American Indian Cultural Center and Museum, is tonight-Saturday at the museum’s Noble Theater, 415 Couch Drive.

The showcase begins at 7:30 tonight with a screening of “GRAB,” an intimate portrait of the little-documented Grab Day in the villages of the Laguna Pueblo tribe, who annually throw water and food items from the rooftop of a home to people standing below.

It continues at 5:30 p.m. Friday with “Good Meat,” about one-time star athlete Beau LeBeau (Oglala Lakota) who has grown to weigh 333 pounds—an unhealthy weight that has triggered the onset of Type II Diabetes. His mother’s untimely death from complications due to diabetes motivates him to drop the excessive pounds. Enlisting the help of a physician and nutritionist, he starts exercising and takes up a traditional Lakota diet of buffalo meat and other Native foods."
