The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe faces tragedy when their water and land is compromised by the oil companies pipeline. The Sioux tribe is represented with respect even though they are receiving derision from the other side. David Arquette and William Mapother play the two male leads who represent both sides of this story.

Josh and Rebecca Tickell have masterfully written compelling three-dimensional characters who ultimately drive the story home. I think this is definitely a must watch film.… Expand

Daniel McKinney, played by William Mapother is a veteran reporter suffering from PTSD that now works freelance as a civilian. His status as a low-income Republican veteran leads him to be profiled and recruited by a conservative newspaper to write about the Dakota Access Pipeline and the conflict surrounding it. I felt like I was accompanying Daniel on his journey to find the truth and his own emotional healing. Daniel’s arc throughout this movie is incredibly well-written.… Expand
