Grab

Grab is an intimate portrait of the little-documented Grab Day in the villages of the Laguna Pueblo tribe, who annually throw water and food items from the rooftop of a home to people standing below.

A community-wide prayer of abundance, thanks, and renewal, Grab Day exists at the intersection of traditional Native and contemporary Western cultures. Luther’s film, which is narrated by Parker Posey, follows three families as they prepare for the annual event, chronicling their lives for the year leading up to this day.

PBS Premiere Parker Posey Laguna PuebloTribe Grab Election Day Documentaries Billy Luther

Grab is a World of Wonder documentary produced and directed by award-winning documentarian (and wowlebrity) Billy Luther (and narrated by Parker Posey) that shines light on the rarely-seen Grab Day in the villages of the Laguna Pueblo tribe. Once a year, the villagers throw water and food items from the rooftops of houses to people standing below, who… grab them. Billy’s film follows three families preparing for the event, and chronicles their lives leading up to the day. If you’ve seen a Luther movie before, you know they’re totally engrossing, habit-forming even. A festival favorite, the film premieres on PBS tomorrow (Election Day! Yikes!) at some random times: KLCS PBS 58 at 8PM, PBS WORLD  KOCE at 5AM, 11PM, 4PM, and 9PM. Airing through November 11. That a lotta times, but all likely inconvenient. Because it’s, as we said, Election Day, and you should be at the polls, voting for Obama. So best to DVR it. Party idea: Invite some friends over to watch it with you and find out how many things they can grab out of your home while you’re immersed in it.
