Incident at Oglala (1992)
Directed by Michael Apted
On June 26, 1975, during a period of high tensions on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota, two FBI agents were killed in a shootout with a group of Indians. Although several men were charged with killing the agents, only one, Leonard Peltier, was found guilty. This film describes the events surrounding the shootout and suggests that Peltier was unjustly convicted.

What critics compared Incident at Oglala to
Like Michael Apted?s superior "Incident at Oglala" the film was actually shot in and around the Pine Ridge reservation itself, home of the Lakota Sioux and the famed massacre of Wounded Knee, where over 100 Lakota men, women, and children lost their lives.
