I'd like to see this film.

Dennis Banks co-founded the American Indian Movement (A.I.M.) in 1968 to call attention to the plight of urban Indians in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The film presents an intimate look at Dennis Banks' life beginning with his early experience in boarding schools, through his military service in Japan, his transformative experience in Stillwater State Prison and subsequent founding of a movement that, through confrontational actions in Washington DC, Custer South Dakota and Wounded Knee, changed the lives of American Indians forever.

Crow has brought the message
 to the children of the sun
 for the return of the buffalo
 and for a better day to come

 You can kill my body
 You can damn my soul
 for not believing in your god
 and some world down below

 You don't stand a chance
 against my prayers
 You don't stand a chance
 against my love
 They outlawed the Ghost Dance
 but we shall live again,
 we shall live again

 My sister above
 She has red paint
 She died at Wounded Knee
 like a later day saint

 You got the big drum in the distance
 blackbird in the sky
 That's the sound that you hear
 when the buffalo cry

 You don't stand a chance
 against my prayers
 You don't stand a chance
 against my love
 They outlawed the Ghost Dance
 but we shall live again,
 we shall live again

 Crazy Horse was a mystic
 He knew the secret of the trance
 And Sitting Bull the great apostle
 of the Ghost Dance

 Come on Comanche
Come on Blackfoot
 Come on Shoshone
 Come on Cheyenne

 We shall live again

 Come on Arapaho
 Come on Cherokee
 Come on Paiute
 Come on Sioux

 We shall live again
