THE REVIEWS

"Rae's visually poetic film matches her charismatic subject, the "so articulate he's dangerous" Native American activist, poet, and musician John Trudell. Using considerable archival footage and clips of Trudell interviewed from the 1970s to the present, Rae assembles a compelling biography of the activist whose life was changed when tragedy reincarnated his means of speaking the truth.
Some of the most compelling moments of the film are of Trudell, sitting and smoking, talking to the camera and telling it like it is. The film will anger those who believe in justice but, hopefully, inspire those new to the very old issues Trudell continues to fight for to step up." - Belinda Acosta, Austin Chronicle

"A thought provoking and graceful portrait of a tenacious peace warrior" - The Boston Globe

"...riveting" - the Village Voice


"The film was just mesmerizing" - Diane Doty from Cincinnati, OH

"...I could not believe I had never heard of this man before. This revolutionary should be set alongside such greats as William Wallace, Malcolm X, and Gandhi." - Zachary Richardson from
Mt. Pleasant, TX
