“A re-energized debate about stolen land and inequity, spurred by young people invigorated by the history they were never taught, and gaining traction with non-Natives to boot.”
Los Angeles Times

“Moves swiftly but thoughtfully through various topics, covering issues like the over 400 land-grabbing treaties that robbed tribes of their homes to historic confrontations.”

This visually arresting documentary chronicles the struggle of the Lakota Nation to regain control over their home in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and provides a portrait of their resilience.
