On Sacred Ground (2023)

On Sacred Ground (2023). On Sacred Ground: Directed by Joshua Tickell, Rebecca Harrell Tickell. With William Mapother, David Arquette, Amy Smart, Frances Fisher. A journalist and oil company executive find themselves on opposite sides of the fight during the construction of the contentious Dakota Access Pipeline that runs through the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota.

“The motion picture, On Sacred Ground, was executed with excellence. Directors Rebecca and Josh Tickell did a wonderful job portraying the narrative of the continuation of the Dakota Access Pipeline over the Lakota u0026quot;Siouxu0026quot; Tribeu0026#39;s land. On Sacred Ground included voices from true Native Americans, which showed their respect for those whose story was being written. By representing the indigenous women in such a way that showed audiences how they were vocal and strong and not instigating and violent was a great way that this motion picture gave respect to the Lakota Tribe. This cinematic masterpiece has many powerful layers, including the display of PTSD suffered by veterans, the ethical dilemma of a journalist, and the life of a married couple with a baby on the way. Despite all these conflicts, the awareness for protecting indigenous rights does not take a back seat. This motion picture has a voice of its own and I highly recommend watching On Sacred Ground for a moving cinematic experience.”
