Join us Friday mornings for a movie! This month we are featuring all Kanopy films to highlight National Native American Heritage Month! Today we watch On a Knife Edge (2017).

Set against a background of rising tension and protest, a Lakota teenager learns first-hand what it means to lead a new generation and enter adulthood in a world where the odds are stacked against him.

Filmed over a five-year period, ON A KNIFE EDGE provides a privileged view into the interior world of George Dull Knife as he becomes politically active with the American Indian Movement, confronts the challenges of growing up on the Pine Ridge Reservation, and wrestles with accepting leadership of his storied family from his aging father.

Winner of a Grand Jury Prize at the Portland International Film Festival.
