DESCRIPTION:TRUDELL follows the life of Native American poet and activist John Trudell. 
 The film begins in the late 1960s, when Trudell and Indians of All Tribes 
 occupied Alcatraz Island for 21 months. \n\nAfter the Alcatraz occupation, 
 Trudell went on to become national spokesman of the American Indian 
 Movement, earning a reputation as one of the most volatile political 
 “subversives” of the 1970s. The FBI dossier on Trudell exceeded 17,000 
 pages, one of the longest in the bureau’s history. \n\nIn 1979, 
 Trudell’s controversial career in politics came to a sudden end. Hours 
 after he burned an American flag in protest on the steps of the FBI 
 headquarters in Washington, D.C., Trudell’s pregnant wife, three children 
 and mother-in-law were killed in a suspicious house fire on a Nevada 
 reservation. He retreated from the public eye, and spent the next four 
 years driving a car throughout North America. It was during this time that 
 Trudell’s voice as a poet began to surface, giving him a new expression 
 for his powerful opinions and raw emotions. \n\nBefore/after the screening 
 join us for discussion, refreshments, and readings of John Trudell's 
 poetry.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/12/10/18632187.php
