The Battle for Whiteclay follows Indian activists Frank LaMere, Duane Martin, Sr. and Russell Means through the streets of Whiteclay to the halls of Nebraska's State Capitol in their campaign to end alcohol sales in the place Nebraska newspapers have dubbed 'Skid Row on the Prairie.' The film documents a little-known social disaster in which families are torn apart and advocates for the Indian way of life confront state and local authorities. Filmmaker Mark Vasina has devoted 5 years to filming and reporting on this tragic and compelling story.
