Having brutally occupied the homeland of Native Americans, the invading Europeans forced the indigenous population onto reservations – land that was specifically selected because of its apparent worthlessness. To add salt to wounds that are still open, multinational energy companies and others are coming back to extract the hidden mineral wealth of the reservations and are leaving a trail of toxins that, if unchecked, will make the land unlivable for centuries to come. But Native American activists are fighting back, and their inspirational stories are chronicled in “Homeland: Four Portraits of Native Action” against the backdrop of some of the country’s most spectacular landscapes.

“Homeland… represents the very best in documentaries being produced in the U.S. today.”
