A superb documentary which deserves legendary status and now probably will - tinear 12:12:22 11/24/09 (3)
get its due.
A group of N. Americans in the now defunct Bunker Hill neighborhood of L A live a life of gambling, drugs, petty crime, marginalization, and disaffection. However, throughout all of this, they retain vestiges of their culture, their pride.
This isn't just a great American film, showing the terrible costs visited upon our noble forefathers (they most certainly are as much so as those Revolutionary blue-bloods), but one which speaks to all people who have been subjugated and who strive to survive in a society dominated by others. What makes this especially poignant in the case of our Natives is that our culture pays a lot of lip service to the veneration of its culture. It has become chic to brag, "Oh, I have a 24th part Cherokee," or such.
