This film is a rich brew. It highlights interesting personalities, tough life choices, the effects of politics, and wrestling with the tensions of trying to live in two nations (Lakota and the USA).
After we meet the main characters, we see them go through changes. Some of those changes are inspired by hope and the desire to improve their situation (and the tribe's). Others come from some less admirable (but very common) desires: for recognition, for money, for power.
Their paths contain enough unexpected twists that it's hard to predict final outcomes, which adds unexpected suspense to what is largely a vibrant character study.
I found this film on Kanopy. It doesn't seem to be available on the major streaming services at this time. I recommend tracking it down and getting enmeshed in these fascinating real lives.
