On a Knife Edge – https://onaknifeedge.com/trailer/
The coming-of-age story of George Dull Knife, a Lakota teenager growing up on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation. The film traces George’s path to activism, inspired by his family’s long history of fighting for justice for Native Americans. His focus: shutting down the liquor stores in Whiteclay, a tiny town nearby that exists only to sell beer to the reservation’s vulnerable population – almost 5 million cans a year. Winner of the 2018 NAJA National Native Media Award.
