Awake: A Dream from Standing Rock
synopsis
“Awake: A Dream from Standing Rock is more than a documentary; it is a jarring dream sequence, a cinematic poem of juxtaposed images and scenes of life and violence that defined the months-long Indigenous-led protest against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) north of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.”
– Nick Estes (Lower Brule Sioux Tribe) In his review.
