"Incident at Oglala: The
Leonard Peltier Story"
(1988)
[1 hr. 29 mins.]
[film by Michael Apted]
"Narrated by Robert Redford, this provocative documentary
chronicles the controversial events
surrounding the shooting of two FBI agents on South Dakota's Pine Ridge
Reservation in 1975,
resulting in the convicti on of Sioux activist Leonard Peltier. Featuring
reenactments and interviews
with key players in the incident, the film offers evidence that the
government's prosecution of Peltier
was unjust and politically motivated." ~Netflix
