No More Smoke Signals
Switzerland | 2008 | 35mm | VO english / ST french | 90 min

Kili Radio, « la voix de la nation lakota » diffuse à partir d'une frêle cabane balayée par les vents, sur une colline isolée du Sud Dakota. C'est un carrefour où l'Histoire, la grande, s'entremêle aux aléas du quotidien, une mar-mite dans laquelle l'espoir a jeté les ingrédients d'un futur meilleur, un terrain fertile où pousse, comme herbe sauvage, une jeune et indéracinable fierté. / Kili Radio, "The Voice of the Lakota Nation", is broadcast out of a small wooden house that sits isolated on a hill, lost in the vast countryside of South Dakota. It is the central meeting point and the point of origin of many a story, big and small. There's Roxanne Two Bulls who's trying to start over again on the land of her ancestors, the young DJ Derrick who's discovering his gift for music, Bruce, the white lawyer who for thirty years has been trying to free a militant who's been fighting for American Indian rights, and finally John Trudell, an old AIM activist who's made a career for himself as a musician in Hollywood. The film NO MORE SMOKE SIGNALS ties together the past, the present and the future. It gives us a new vantage point and enables us to understand that there is something beyond the tears and the ancestors. A new pride is being born.
