Bridge the Gap to Pine Ridge
Available on Prime Video, Tubi TV
In Bridge the Gap, Host Chris Bashinelli travels the world to experience life outside of his hometown - Brooklyn, New York. In this program, he visits the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to explore a culture all but expunged from the history books, that of the Oglala Lakota Native Americans. While there, he embarks on a life-changing buffalo harvest, gets "schooled" by the women's basketball team, visits with a 14-year-old girl who has devoted her life to suicide prevention, and finds himself shoulder deep up a cow's backside while trying to better understand employment issues on the "Rez". With humor and pathos, he uncovers stories of hope and learns how culture has prevailed in the face of adversity.
