Native American Documentary-2008



"American Outrage" is a 2008 documentary about two sisters of the Shoshone tribe. In this documentary, the filmmakers question why these two sisters are being prosecuted for allowing their horses to graze on the open range outside of their private ranch. The case brought against these two women goes all the way to the Supreme Court. The two sisters insist that the government is prosecuting them because the land they ranch is right on top of the second largest gold producing land in the world. It is a short documentary that shows the continuing tension between the Native Americans and the United States Government.
