Holy Man: The USA vs. Douglas White (2011)

Holy Man tells the story of Douglas White, an 88-year-old Lakota Sioux medicine man from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He served 17 years in federal prison for a crime he didn't commit. While making this film, the filmmakers discovered new evidence supporting White’s innocence and reopened his case in Federal Court. Holy Man offers a rare look into the spiritual world of the Lakota people, their deep connection to the land, and a powerful examination of the injustice faced by Native Americans within the criminal justice system.
