highly recommended
Fine expose of a despicable government coverup
This documentary of the disgraceful investigation and "trial" of
Leonard
Peltier proves
that Washington still doesn't care about the rights and the plight of Native Americans. The families of the murdered agents still don't have justice and an innocent man rots behind bars, yet the feds only shrug. A must-see, but prepared to be outraged.
WHAT IS JUSTICE?
O.K., SO BUSH SUCKS. WHAT'S NEW? IRAQUIS, INDIANS, ALL THE SAME TO UNCLE SAM.

INCIDENT AT OGLALA - THE LEONARD PELTIER STORY
INCIDENT
AT
OGLALA
IS AN EXCELLENT DOCUMENT AND A MUST SEE FOR ANYONE WANTING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
LEONARD
PELTIER
AND THE MISTREATMENT OF AMERICAN INDIANS IN THE UNITED STATES. FBI MISCONDUCT WAS RAMPANT THROUGHOUT THE DOCUMENT. CURRENTLY, LEONARD CONTINUES TO SET IN A CELL IN LEAVENWORTH WITH NO EVIDENCE TO PROVE THAT HE BELONGS THERE. MOREOVER, MUCH PROOF EXISTS THAT HE DOES NOT BELONG IN PRISON.
WATCH THIS AND GET INVOLVED WITH THE BUSINESS OF BRINGING LEONARD HOME. TWENTY EIGHT YEARS IS TOO LONG FOR JUSTICE TO NOT BE SERVED.

Decent documentary, inconclusive case.
Peltier
is an otherwise forgettable Native American activist who ought to be grateful for the fame his incarceration has brought him through the years. Clearly, his voice prior to Pine Ridge has been amplified a million fold since Pine Ridge. Do I think he's innocent? No. Do I think he's guilty? Probably. Yeah, maybe he is "innocent" of the murders themselves, but sometimes if you're standing close to the burning building, and the fire marshall sees you with matches in your hands and the smell of petrol on your clothes, you're liable to go down for arson. Perhaps you didn't in fact burn the building, but man, what the hell are you doing there with matches and gasoline? Such is the Peltier case, and the politics and heated emotion surrounding this case make it almost impossible to examine impartially. Many cry that this is just another example of big bad government sticking it to the Indians. I'm not so sure. As Lincoln said of militant abolitionist John Brown, there can be no excuse for murder and treason, no matter how just the cause might be. If we forgive a guilty Peltier (or Abu-Jamal for that matter) of his crimes simply because we are sympathetic to his cause, what does that say about us, or our dedication to a just America?

To all the thick headed people on the right!!!
This was indeed a great Doc. I'm still amazed by the blind following of the right wing nuts who often write in reviews without taking their medication first! I guess when Columbus and Custer are your heroes what can you possibly say to someone like this. Go and do some volunteering on a real reservation and it may open your eyes to the truth.
