MIM Movie Review

This is an archive of the former website of the Maoist Internationalist Movement, which was run by the now defunct Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika. The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.

   Incident at Oglala (1992)

   Traces the events at Pine Ridge Reservation between 1973 and 1975,
   when the American Indian Movement was at war with the feds and corrupt
   would-be neo-colonial rulers. After two FBI agents were killed,
   AIM activist Leonard Peltier was framed and is still serving two
   life sentences. Robert Redford and the others behind the movie would
   have liberals walk away saying, "Peltier should be freed, because he
   didn't kill those agents." MIM says: "So what if he did?" There was
   a war on: those killings were justified in the name of self-defense
   and national liberation. The Peltier-is-innocent defense just means
   another revolutionary should be in jail instead. Some good evidence and
   some bad choices in the production. MIM prefers Agents of Repression:
   The FBI's Secret Wars Against the Black Panther Party and the American
   Indian Movement.
