As times have changed, many fami lies do not reside in the traditional Pueblo style home, but that doesn't stop the joy and excitement that Grab Day brings. Narrated by Golden Globe Award nominee Parker Posey (You’ve Got Mail, Superman Returns), GRAB is an intimate portrait of the little-documented Grab Day in the villages of the Laguna Pueblo Tribe. “This celebration exists at the inter section of traditional Native and contem porary Western cultures,” said Luther. “I knew that visiting the Laguna Reservation that I would not just focus on one family, but a few since this would bring a diverse view into their lives and world.” Grab Day, a 300-year-old tradition, is so private there has been little docu mentation on this event until this film. On this summer day, members of the Laguna Pueblo Tribe toss water, homemade treats, packaged food, pottery and gifts from the rooftops of their homes to a crowd of excited community members below. GRAB is a cultural celebration of the Laguna Pueblo community that follows the lives of its various residents, including youth, Elders, artists, potters and bakers as they vigorously prepare for the day while struggling to preserve tradition as con temporary culture continues to develop. Co-produced by Luther, World of Wonder and NAPT, GRAB follows three families as they prepare for this annual event that serves as a community-wide prayer of abundance, thanks and renewal. The celebration fuses traditional Catholic values of sharing goods with the com munity in exchange for prayers in the coming year.
