"No More Smoke Signals"

"No More Smoke Signals"No More Smoke Signals
(2008, 90 min.) SWITZERLAND
Director: Fanny Bräuning

The "Voice of the Lakota Nation"–the independent, non-profit KILI Radio–has been a unifying force for the Lakota people since it first began broadcasting in 1983 from a hill near Porcupine, South Dakota. This feature explores the grass-roots activism that generated the idea of tribally–controlled media and those who struggled to make it a reality–now an everyday miracle in the lives of the people in the widely scattered communities of the Pine Ridge, Cheyenne River, and Rosebud Indian Reservations.
