The Independent Film Society of Colorado is proud to present this screening of the award-winning film Standing Silent Nation.
When 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. Having researched hemp as a sustainable crop that would grow in the inhospitable soil of the South Dakota Badlands, the White Plumes envisioned a new economy that would impact the 85% unemployment rate on the Pine Ridge Reservation. They never dreamed they would find themselves swept up in a struggle over tribal sovereignty, economic rights, and common sense.
Prior to the screening for Standing Silent Nation is a special showcase presentation of Colorado Springs filmmaker Matthew Nelson's excellent coming-of-age comedy The Bilbee Boys.
