"We're proud to partner with The Santa Fe International Film Festival to champion authentic stories from underrepresented voices," said Courtney Thomasma, EVP of Linear and Streaming Products at AMC Networks. "We're excited for audiences to discover these compelling stories from both established and emerging Indigenous talent during Native American Heritage Month on AMC+ as we look ahead to a new season of Dark Winds premiering in March 2025."
