A documentary telling the life story of Sioux Tribe member John Trudell, this film begins in the sixties with his 21 month occupation of Alcatraz Island with group Indians of All Tribes, an act which is credited with birthing the contemporary Indian people’s movement. "After Alcatraz, Trudell was the National Spokesman of the American Indian Movement (AIM)--becoming one of the most highly volatile political ‘subversives’ of the 1970’s with one of the longest FBI files in history (over 17,000 pages.)"
