This is a great documentary. I saw it by chance in an alcove at Alcatraz in the early 2000s and taught it every year I taught college. All of my students LOVED it. It is very inspiring. Thank you for making it and sowing the seeds for future historians.
I found a copy on ebay...because it was no longer available for individual purchase on turtle island.
You will never be forgotten Richard Oakes Divine One ~
As a high school teacher, I would love to be able to acquire a DVD of this.
@@ojib62 the website is no longer active-are there other options?
My dad was the associate director and historical consultant for this documentary. I m also trying to obtain a copy. Hes the speaker in the blue shirt. He sadly passed away in 2014. In all his copies of his books and teachings we as a family cant find a copy. Any help is appreciated. Daughter of the late Dr. Troy R Johnson. Love you dad !
Donna, please contact me through my website at www.turtle-island.com (Contact form). We gave Troy at least one box of 200 DVDs when we had them made years ago, perhaps he gave them all away I'm not sure, but I have a few copies still and can send you a couple. I really had a lot of respect and admiration for your father and was very saddened to hear that he had passed away. We last spoke on the phone about a year before he passed away regarding the film. Please contact me, I cant leave my info here but you can contact me through my website link above. James
Anyone wondering there’s a version on amazon prime lol
I'd really like to purchase a copy of this full documentary! Where could I find a copy?
What is the song they're singing 2:00 in?
does anyone know where I can purchase this doc or stream it somewhere? Thank you
If you want to purchase a DVD copy please visit turtle-island.com/filmography/purchase-dvd.html
The film is legally out of print and cannot be streamed on UA-cam or rebroadcast on TV etc etc. This is the only place to legally buy a DVD copy. Supplies are limited and once they are all sold it will not be available again for purchase. Your UA-cam clip above is technically an illegal copyright infringement and I will be contacting UA-cam to take it down.

Remember!
RIP Richard Oaks
I have a copy from the director
Have you ever thought about making this into a screenplay for a movie? I don't think a lot of Americans even realize this happened. I've been trying to find a full copy of this documentary for the last year because I'd like to re-watch this, do some more research on Richard Oakes, and then write a screenplay about this amazing moment in American history. Mr. Fortier, if you're reading this, reach out as I love this documentary and think it would make an incredible feature length movie. samssff@gmail.com
It's a damn shame you're contacting UA-cam about this. I really enjoyed this movie. I'd be damn interested in reading the screenplay as I definitely feel this is a story that especially now with Standing Rock, is more timely than ever.
@@beerandloathingpdx My bad, the trailer was uploaded to UA-cam by our editor Mike Yearling, so it will stay up. I'm trying to get my screenplay read again in Hollywood now that Martin Scorsese's forthcoming film "Killings of the Flower Moon" is expected to be up for Oscars.
@@ojib62 I would love to read that. Do you know where this documentary can be viewed in full?
Yes I have one already and we have shopped it around. Its a complicated story for a traditional feature length film and we have been told it would be better pitched as a 4 part limited series for Netflix etc.
@@ojib62Well here's hoping. Scorsese's film is 3 1/2 hrs so we'll see!
