9/10
Great film!

I loved this film since it deals with the sensitive nature of what went on during the AIM Conflict in 1973. The 2 "prisoners" who never did a thing to anyone were wrongfully arrested. That's a no-brainer since there was obviously no justice for them. However justice finally came for them when the attorney defended them. The only problem was they didn't get released from their cells like they should have. But I noticed at how the final credits say that Tonanzin Carmelo played Anne Ward when in fact she portrayed Sacheen Littlefeather. For those who don't know she was the one who acted on behalf of Marlon Brando by refusing to accept an Oscar Award. Hollywood's portrayal on Natives was pathetic (and still is) and since Brando got tired of seeing that kind of treatment on Natives, he opted not to accept any awards. Ann Ward was clearly played by someone else. I also liked how that one cop became sympathetic to those 2 boys while the other cop was a real racist loser.

Anyways... this film truly deserves a 9 out of 10.
