Native Voices: "Free Leonard Peltier" Documentary and Discussion with film producer Jhane Myers

Doors open with refreshments at 5:30

Event begins at 6 pm

Free Leonard Peltier is a powerful new documentary about one man’s fight for justice and the generations of Native people who stood beside him. Produced by Jhane Myers (Comanche/Blackfeet) and directed by Jesse Short Bull (Oglala Lakota) and David France, the film tells the story of Leonard Peltier, a leader in the American Indian Movement who spent nearly 50 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

Through rare footage and new technology, the film brings to life the courage of Native activists and the ongoing struggle for sovereignty, truth, and freedom.

Join us for a special screening and community discussion with producer Jhane Myers, honoring Native resilience and the power of standing together for justice.
