(1986) dir Phil Lucas (Choctaw) [57 min; BetaSP]
Told mostly in the first person by Chief Andy Chelsea and his wife, Phyllis, THE HONOUR OF ALL recounts the long hard road to sobriety for the Alkali tribe – from a 100% alcoholism rate to 95% sober after almost two decades of hard work. In utilizing almost exclusively amateur actors, who are actual participants in the drama, to reenact important events in the tribal community, this remarkable documentary becomes a work of profound healing.
