Watched at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.
In the light of Leonard Peltier being free, the context of the documentary may sour for some, but what succeeds with this documentary is the filmmaker's ambitious approach that explores a very well-developed interest about the discrimination Native Americans encounter in their country and the social political movement around Peltier and the historical context behind what happened. Filled with great discussions, concepts and presentation, it offers to tell about the issues how Native Americans are being unfairly treated and how the past has affected them.
With great musical choices, presentation, and structure, the filmmakers really achieved on what to tell about the issues and seeing and learning about the corruptions that happened, it was frustrating but something that needed to be said. Now I do say, the documentary does over stay it's welcome as certain moments and contexts felt a bit unbalanced. Which does cause some moments to drag and feeling repetitive of it's nature. I kind of wish some moments had been explored more as well.
Otherwise, a good documentary is a impactful watch.
