For Andrea Bowers, political engagement and artistic expression are inseparable. Her work frequently highlights narratives of resistance and rebellion, a prime example being her featured film 'My Name Means Future', which focuses on youth activists involved in the movement to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline in South Dakota, which runs through sacred Native American land. Over a four-day period, Bowers traveled with the activists to sacred places in South Dakota, documenting the landscapes and histories of these sites, and the personal as well as political issues that arise around them. One activist is the particular focus of the documentary, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe named Tokato Iron Eyes, whose first name means Future in the Lakota language.

Für Andrea Bowers sind politisches Engagement und künstlerischer Ausdruck untrennbar miteinander verbunden. In ihrer Arbeit beleuchtet sie häufig Erzählungen von Widerstand und Rebellion. Ein Paradebeispiel dafür ist ihr Spielfilm 'My Name Means Future', der junge Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten in den Mittelpunkt stellt, deren Bewegung die Dakota Access Pipeline in South Dakota zu stoppen versucht, die durch das heilige Land der amerikanischen Ureinwohner verläuft. Über einen Zeitraum von vier Tagen reiste Bowers mit den Aktivisten zu heiligen Orten in South Dakota und dokumentierte die Landschaften und die Geschichte dieser Orte sowie die persönlichen und politischen Probleme, die rund um sie entstehen. Im Mittelpunkt des Dokumentarfilms steht ein Aktivist, ein Mitglied des Stammes der Standing Rock Sioux namens Tokato Iron Eyes, dessen Vorname in der Sprache der Lakota Zukunft bedeutet.
