Summary A gripping political thriller set during the 1973 Wounded Knee insurrection. Marvin and Bud, two Native American activists, are arrested and thrown in jail. There, they must face two officers monitoring their every move, and they join forces with a young lawyer assigned to their case all while Marvin mourns the recent death of his wife, Anna. Why does a Nixon representative visit them in jail? And a Senator? And a Hollywood star? What is Nixon's role? What secret was Anna hiding before she died? During the seventies, the world keeps spinning and tension arises in this simple jail in the middle of nowhere... Winner of an Independent Spirit Award at the **Sedona International Film Festival**
