Lakota Spring — Joel B. Reed

Based on a true story, two young men come of age in South Dakota during the era of Wounded Knee II. One is Lakota, the other is not. Yet nothing can separate them until one of them comes home from Desert Storm, a hero whose memories haunt him and whose country doesn't care. With nothing left but his own demons, he quickly drifts into self destruction. Even so, Lakota Spring ends as a testament to the power of love to overcome racism and violence, and the power of hope to conquer despair.
