American Outrage

In this compelling documentary, Native American sisters Carrie and Mary Dann (of the Western Shoshone tribe) mount a battle over their property rights that pits them against the U.S. government. In dispute are the details of a 19th-century treaty designating the farmland they occupy as Shoshone territory and the state's contention that the old women are criminals for grazing cattle on a range adjoining their farm. 56 min. Soundtrack: English; bonus short; photo gallery.
