Documentarian Kim Bartley and Star, Sharmaine Weed Discuss Pure Grit Making its U.S. Premiere at Newport Beach Film Festival on Sunday, October 24th, 3:15 PM at South Coast Village.

Pure Grit makes its U.S. Premiere at Newport Beach Film Festival and we were lucky enough to speak with Irish documentarian, Kim Bartley and the star of the film, Sharmaine Weed.

\n

Weed is a Bareback Horse Racing Champion from the Wind River reservation in Northern Wyoming and is enrolled in the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone tribes.

\n

Weed had grown up suffering abuse and self-medicated when no one believed her stories, claiming they were false accusations that turned out to be 100 percent true, taking the witness stand for 6-hours against her abuser --- alone.

\n

Pure Grit is a powerful documentary that transcends genres. It is not an LGBTQ+ documentary. It is not a Native American/First Nations documentary. It is not a Sports documentary. Pure Grit is a Human Condition documentary that tells the story of an abuse survivor, who came over self-destructive behavior to become a world champion and that is the most important part in Sharmaine Weed's story.

\n

Pure Grit makes its U.S. Premiere at Newport Beach Film Festival on October 24, 2021 at 3:15 PM at South Coast Village.
