Incident at Oglala (1992)

In 1975, two FBI agents were killed in a shootout at the Pine Ridge Reservation. Despite inconsistencies in the case and many high profile campaigns for clemency, Leonard Peltier has been incarcerated since 1977 for those deaths. This documentary discusses the period of high tension on the Reservation that preceded the shooting and some details of the case including details regarding other American Indian Movement activists who were tried for the crime. The parts involving the earlier events on the Reservation were very interesting, but I wish there was more focus on the actual shootout. That lack of information is probably why Peltier is possibly a scapegoat like in many cases where the justice system is desperate to blame someone for a murder, especially of a law enforcement official.
