ABOUT WINDING PATH

Winding Path had its world premiere as an official selection at Sundance Film Festival 2024. It was produced by University of Utah Health and Oscar-nominated producer, Robin Honan, and co-directed by award-winning filmmakers, Alex Lazarowich and Ross Kauffman, with an original soundtrack by Samantha Crain. Winding Path is the fourth film in the U of U Health-produced series, New Narratives in Health, designed to bring scientists and artists together to more broadly communicate advances in knowledge.

Winding Path will be available to screen here soon. In the meantime, watch the film below about the Native American Research Internship (NARI) Program.
