Language of the Unheard
Jacqueline Reyno, Matthew Litwiller
USA, 2011


-

The Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota is home to the Oglala Lakota,
a Sioux people with one of the most fascinating, controversial, and
difficult histories ever told. From the infamous Wounded Knee Massacre of
1890, in which at least 150 of their people were killed, to a present-day
unemployment rate of 80 per cent, the residents of Pine Ridge have many
stories that have yet to be told.

Beautifully filmed under big skies,* Language of the Unheard* offers an
original and eloquent testament to the prospect faced by a First Nations
people. The recipient of numerous plaudits, the film was voted best student
documentary at the Emerging Filmmakers Showcase at the American Pavilion in
Cannes in 2012.
