John Trudell was a fascinating man, talented in many ways. Getting a view of his life was interesting to me. I've watched it a couple times already.

John Trudell is one of Native America's backbones to truth. He speaks of history, honor, treaty rights, family, and how a single soul shouldn't trust the government. He's taken a stand for what's right and at a terrible price because his entire family was murdered. For any and all who care about learning what the 1st Americans, original citizens of North America and surrounding lands and waters have lived thru, the war and genocide that was survived, John Trudell is that force and this is his story. He's magnificent and honest. He's artistic and humble. This DVD is a must-have for those building a library of Native American history. He brings everyone up to modern day living and leaves each viewer with a world of insight.

Johnny's word's I will hold on to:
...she gve me the lines to follow
because this thing about falling apart, it doesn't go away
time doesn't have that magic
distance is one thing but magic is something else
an there is some falling aparts, there is no magic to fix it
What a brave man. What a horrible loss.
I never knew his name before and don't even know how I happened across this documentary
But Johnny has shown a light on the path for me
to just follow the lines too
Thank you, Johnny and Tina and all of your beautiful children
I don't know why the land of the "free" breeds so much serfdom but Johnny sure fought to hold on and lead everyone out of the mess...yet we are still in the mess
maybe the reward for staying true to your morals, is knowing you did

It's not the kind of story anyone loves. I gave the film 5 stars not because I loved it, but because it's so important. Corruption, crime, and the ruthless misuse of power are not new in the story of the federal government's dealings with Native people, but this account brings history out of the past into our own day.
John Trudell has been a political activist most of his life. He is not guilty of any crime, but he has exercised his constitutional right to freedom of speech. He has advocated for fair treatment of his people - an issue one would not expect to be controversial in The Land of the Free. He says, "All I ever did was talk," but that seems to have been enough for the FBI to regard him as extremely dangerous. John's pregnant wife, their children, and his mother-in-law were murdered in an arson fire. Trudell is presumed to have been the prime target, but he happened to be out of town when the fire was set. The murders remain unsolved, but the FBI looks very suspect in this chillingly compelling documentary.

RIP John Trudell.
How anyone could argue with this man is beyond me. Truth has never been spoken more openly, or honestly.

This documentary literally changed the way I process information. John's story is beautifully told in a skillfully made film. He was a modern day wise man using words in their most transformational, simple & compelling fashion. Like the Irish, his people had English forced on them. He, like the Irish, teaches the English how to use their own language.

A modern hero, unsung, but true to his principles until the end

John Trudell is a tragic modern hero, who else could have survived what he was forced to get through, and still stand, and keep spreding the word for his people, and create beauty throgh the language of music...the Spirits Up Above may bless you, John Trudell, I thank you for everything you did, never forgotten, the struggle continues

For everyone who admires the art of John Trudell an absolute MUST! But even if you are so unfortunate as NOT
to have heard him perform before, you will hear some of his songs during the film. This film, however, tells the true
story of a very courageous man. It features the occupation of Alcatraz, his engagement for AIM, the siege at
Wounded Knee and the tragic loss of his entire family, which ended his role in the Movement. John Trudell found a new
way to continue his political engagement - on stage, all over the world. His is a very special way to combine rock music,
traditional music performed by Quiltman with his beautiful voice, and poetry. Highly intelligent and extremely
eloquent, John is laying a finger into the wounds of yesterday and today and speaks about it freely and truthfully.
In fact there are word creations of John Trudell, which are unfogettable and, sometimes I had a feeling that I was
listening to a completely new language. Just wonderful.
For most of us it is almost impossible to answer this famous question about the music you would want to take along
to a solitary island. One thing is quite certain: I wouldn't leave without John Trudell!!!
If you want to know more about this extraordinary man - you should buy this film!
