FREE LEONARD PELTIER

NYC PREMIERE In the midst of the American Indian Movement in the 1970s, two federal agents are killed on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Auto mechanic-turned-activist Leonard Peltier finds himself behind bars for the crime via a disputed conviction, serving two life sentences under the questionable machinations of the justice system. Peltier fights to maintain his innocence for decades, while his community soldiers forward, enduring a half-century quest for his freedom. – Brandon Harrison
