The Free Land Project and SpeakOut present

Free Land: A young white man’s search for his roots takes him from the streets of Oakland to the prairies of Wyoming on an unforgettable journey into the heart of American history. During an interview with his grandfather he learns that their beloved family ranch was actually a Homestead, a free land grant from the government. Haunted by the past, he’s compelled to dig deeper into the history of the land, only to come face to face with the legacy of theft and genocide in the Wild Wild West. Caught between the romantic cowboy tales of his childhood and the devastating reality of what he learns, he grapples with the contradictions in his own life and the possibility for justice and reconciliation. Free Land weaves spoken word poetry, acting, dance, and hip hop music into a compelling performance that challenges us to take an unflinching look at the truth buried in the land beneath our feet.

Running Time: 90 mins

Tim Wise, antiracist educator, author of White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son

“Ariel writes with a passionate new voice that embodies both jackhammer intensity and breathtaking tenderness.  His poetry is a compelling call to action.  His work honors the human potential in all of us for honesty, reconciliation, social justice, and wholeness.”
Peggy McIntosh
Author of “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack”

“Ariel Luckey is a crucial truth-teller and love-warrior; his chosen weapons, the magic music words that urge action, the warm embrace that does justice. Read these poems: they kick ass and touch our hearts in the same dazzling gesture. Read them quickly and with urgency; read them slowly and with care; read them repeatedly for the complexity they will yield. Read them.”
Bill Ayers,
Professor of Education and Co-Founder of the Weather Underground
