Incident at Oglala Clips
Documentary directed by Michael Apted on Native American activist Leonard Peltier. Following 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee, and amid tensions between US government and Lakota Sioux, two FBI agents and one Native American killed by gunfire on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975. Peltier was later arrested and imprisoned, although there was little direct evidence, and others charged earlier were found not guilty on the basis of legitimate self-defense. Narrated by Robert Redford (also the executive producer), the film revisits the scene of the shooting and assembles archival footage and interviews to show how Peltier was never granted a fair trial, while painting a larger portrait of social injustice in view of the contemporary living conditions of Native Americans.
