Activism | Wrongful Conviction
The film profiles Leonard Peltier, the American Indian Movement activist who spent 49 years in prison for a controversial disputed conviction of murdering two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in 1975. The documentary follows the sustained international campaign for his release, which saw a new generation of Native activists revive calls for his freedom. The film had to be re-edited after President Joe Biden commuted Peltier's sentence to house arrest in January 2025, just a week before the film's premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
