BUFFALO NATION: THE CHILDREN ARE CRYING
Filmmaker Leslye Abbey In Person!
Depicting the lives of the rural isolated Lakota people of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, this documentary focuses on the devastation in which the Sioux Nation children are forced to live while also exploring the history, spirituality and values of the indigenous Sioux tribe
Buffalo Nation: The Children Are Crying tells the story of the Lakota Nation from their hearts and minds. This movie is a saga of displacement, neglect, deprivation, abolishment of traditional beliefs, language, mores and culture. Despite the racism and injustice, the Lakota will not give up! Against all odds and in the face of alcoholism, diabetes, gangs and an alarming rate of childhood suicide, the Lakota People continue their struggle to survive. (USA, 2014, 101 min., Some Subtitles, Mild Profanity | Director: Leslye Abbey)
