Fancy Dance starring Lily Gladstone and Isabel Deroy-Olson shows the dark side of life on a reservation for Indigenous Native American women. It follows hustler Jax (Lily Gladstone), a former drug dealer who has cared for her niece Roki (Isabel Deroy-Olson) since her sister, Roki’s mother Tawi (Hauli Gray), went missing. But when Roki’s white grandparents arrive to take her away, the pair go on the run to get to a Native American powwow, where people from Indigenous nations meet to dance, sing and honour the traditions of their ancestors. At the same time, Jax and Roki are investigating what happened to Tawi and they soon realise there is an epidemic of missing Indigenous women in the US and Canada but in a world where white people are prioritised, the justice system simply doesn’t care.
