Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Standing Silent Nation is a 2006 documentary film about Alex White Plume, a resident of South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation. After a great deal of research, Alex and his family planted industrial hemp, under the incorrect assumption that tribal sovereignty laws would allow the production of this non-psychoactive relative of marijuana, and the film details the consequences of his actions. Standing Silent Nation was directed by Suree Towfighnia and aired as part of PBS's Point of View series in 2007. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
