DESCRIPTION:A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition Film Showing & Discussion\n“The Battle for 
 Whiteclay”\n\nWith an introduction by Tony Gonzales from the American 
 Indian Movement.\n\nThe State of Nebraska’s refusal to halt alcohol sales 
 to the dry Pine Ridge Indian Reservation from its border town of Whiteclay 
 gets an in-depth look in this documentary about a century-old problem. Four 
 off-sale beer stores in this 14-person hamlet sell over 11,000 cans of beer 
 a day to an Indian clientele with virtually no legal place to drink it. 
 Struggling with crippling poverty and epidemic alcohol abuse that afflicts 
 4 out of 5 families, the Oglala Sioux Tribe has for decades banned the sale 
 and possession of alcohol on their reservation.\n\n"The Battle for 
 Whiteclay" follows Indian activists through the streets of Whiteclay to the 
 halls of Nebraska’s State Capitol in their efforts to end alcohol sales 
 in the place many have dubbed “skid row on the prairie.” Here is an 
 inside look at an important contemporary conflict pitting American Indian 
 rights against state and local governments in the United States. 2008, 
 113min.\n\n$6 donation (no one turned away for lack of funds)\n
