(2005) dir Heather Rae (Cherokee) w/Johm Trudell, Robert Redford, Kris Kristofferson, Sam Shepard, Amy Ray, Val Kilmer [80 min; Digital]
Heather Rae’s documentary about American Indian activist and poet John Trudell meets its multifaceted subject with a complexity worthy of the man. Recounting Trudell’s rise from poverty to leadership in the American Indian Movement, then through personal tragedies to newfound status as a poet and recording artist, Rae combines multiple sources to construct the film as a poem in itself.
“A thought-provoking and graceful portrait of a tenacious peace warrior whose frankness is his greatest weapon.” – Erin Meister, Boston Globe
