Movie Reviews of Incident at Oglala - The Leonard Peltier Story
Movie Review: Red Race Justice!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great documentary. It is a "must see" for anyone concerned about our 1st "Americans." I also recommend the book: The Trial of Leonard Peltier. Were this man any color other than "Red," he would have been freed long ago. Don't mistake me for some bleeding heart liberal. I believe the victims in most violent crimes rarely receive the attention they deserve. All to often, Americans see the criminals as sympathetic persons. We must all lament the deaths of the FBI agents who lost their lives looking for a suspect in the theft of a pair of cowboy boots. However, Leonard Peltier was convicted because as one juror said: "Someone had to pay." It's a crying shame when a Native American in the 21st century is still viewed by the justice system as not deserving of the justice afforded to all other Americans of any race! Read the book or watch the DVD and you will agree. PS: What the DVD doesn't include is the FBI"s admission that the gun used to convict Leonard Peltier was NOT the weapon responsible for the agents deaths. This admission came years later. Justice for Native Americans has not improved much in 500 years.
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
