Description

NYC PREMIERE In the midst of the American Indian Movement in the 1970s, two federal agents are killed on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Auto mechanic-turned-activist Leonard Peltier finds himself behind bars for the crime via a disputed conviction, serving two life sentences under the questionable machinations of the justice system. Peltier fights to maintain his innocence for decades, while his community soldiers forward, enduring a half-century quest for his freedom. - Brandon Harrison
