Movie Reviews of Incident at Oglala - The Leonard Peltier Story
Movie Review: Incident at Oglala
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall fairly informative documentary on the Leonard Peltier case, as well as what happened at the Pine Ridge reservation, in June 1973 I believe.
Largely from the native peoples's perspective during the beginning of the film. After about half-way in the film, it switched to an almost entirely legal driven perspective. Focus was on the various charge, allegations, and circumstantial evidence against Mr. Peltier. I was unimpressed by the FBI evidence against Peltier. To be honest, there were so many possible ways this case was not scrutinized carefully enought to convict Leonard Peltier in a proper way.
I do believe that Mr. Peltier's case was not handled properly by the US government, and the Judicial system. The evidence was pretty poor. In any case it was a good film, and enlightened me on possible injustice. Of course, the Judicial system will deny they prosecuted and convicted Mr. Peltier unfairly.
Summary of Incident at Oglala - The Leonard Peltier Story
Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 04/20/2004 Run time: 90 minutes Rating: PgRobert Redford is the executive producer (and narrator) of this fine, eye-opening documentary about the violent events that took place in 1975 on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Indian activists ended up in an extended standoff with FBI agents, and the result was several deaths, including two federal men whose killing (according to many people) was never clearly attributed to a specific gunman. Nevertheless, the government laid blame for the tragedy on Leonard Peltier, a Sioux political leader who has long been a focus for supporters believing he took the fall, possibly heroically, for others. Peltier has spent many years in prison, and Apted's film, which is hardly ambiguous in its commitment toward Peltier's hoped-for freedom, is persuasive in both its detail and its case against brutal federal policies toward Indians. Whatever one's position on the Peltier question, this is a compelling piece of work. --Tom Keogh
