Chase Iron Eyes dives deep into the fight for sacred lands, celebrating the recent victory in the Black Hills where the Lakota youth successfully shut down a massive mining threat. He breaks down the heavy-handed tactics used by corporate interests and the government, from gerrymandering in the South to new surveillance strategies targeting activists. It’s a raw look at how we protect our future while keeping a sharp eye on the shifting political winds across the country.
