About Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee
Mary Crow Dog, daughter of a desperately poor Indian family in South Dakota, is swept up in the protests of the 1960s and becomes sensitized to the injustices that society inflicts on her people. She aids the Lakota in their struggle for their rights: a struggle that culminates in an armed standoff with US government forces at the site of an 1890 massacre.
Directed by Frank Pierson, Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee leans on a strong ensemble — Irene Bedard, Charles Abourezk, Tantoo Cardinal — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1994.
