DESCRIPTION:From the hemp fields of Pine Ridge to the US Federal Court of Appeals, this 
 one-hour documentary tracks one family’s effort to create economic 
 independence for themselves, their reservation, and their future 
 generations.\n\nWhen the Oglala Sioux tribe passed an ordinance separating 
 industrial hemp from its illegal cousin, marijuana, Alex White Plume and 
 his family glimpsed a brighter future. They never dreamed they would find 
 themselves swept up in a struggle over tribal sovereignty, economic rights, 
 and common sense.\n\nThe hemp plant is like a new buffalo for the Lakota: a 
 resource whose many uses (from food to fuel to fiber) could enrich their 
 sovereign nation. For three years, Alex White Plume and his family planted 
 industrial hemp. But each year, their harvest was disrupted by the Drug 
 Enforcement Administration (DEA), which claims that hemp is marijuana 
 despite the absence of marijuana’s psychoactive properties.\n\nDirected 
 by Suree Towfighnia.\n\nHappy Thanksgiving from the US 
 government…\n\nDoors open at 6pm, film screens at 6:30. $5 donations much 
 appreciated, but no one turned away of course! \n\nFree snaks and 
 popcorn!\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2015/11/14/18780008.php
