Newcomer Isabel Deroy-Olson, who stars alongside Gladstone as Roki, said the film’s humor helps the audience get through the heavier moments of the story — which was also true for the actors.Judge orders railway to pay Washington tribe nearly $400 million for trespassing with oil trains“With all of us having a pretty similar sense of humor, we brought that behind the scenes, too, as a way to kind of lift each other up, and that’s so true in all of our communities,” she said.

“By being and embodying a character, a person who’s going through the steps of doing that work, you’re inviting the audience into that perspective, into that world where they get to learn about the jurisdictional loopholes and the inequities in society that are creating the obstacles for the characters they’re rooting for,” she said.
