![Incident at Oglala: The Leonard Peltier Story](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Michael Apted's documentary is an investigative report on the case of Leonard Peltier, an American Indian Movement activist who was convicted of killing two F.B.I. agents in a 1975 shootout on the Pine Ridge reservation, in South Dakota. Peltier (who has been serving time for the murders since 1977) was railroaded by the F.B.I. The filmmakers concentrate on demonstrating that Leonard didn't get a fair trial. Apted guides us through this tangle of ambiguous evidence and back-and-forth legal maneuvering with patient, unobtrusive skill, and the cool rationality of his manner makes the movie's arguments seem all the more irrefutable. Narrated by Robert Redford (who is also the executive producer).
