LEARN MOREMartin Leroy Adams Resistance Award
Winda launched the inaugural ‘Marty Leroy Adams Resistance Award’ in 2017 to honor and continue the legacy of a great film-warrior. In 2018 Winda acknowledged the contribution of Indigenous filmmaker Tyson Mowarin this year with the Martin Leroy Adams Award of Resistance.
