Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee (1994)
Mary Crow Dog, daughter of a desperately poor Indian family in South Dakota, is swept up in the protests of the 1960s and becomes sensitized to the injustices that society inflicts on her people. She aids the Lakota in their struggle for their rights: a struggle that culminates in an armed standoff with US government forces at the site of an 1890 massacre.

Some things I liked some I did not.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
