Mark Vasina's BATTLE FOR WHITECLAY director screening at the Ross 1/30 and 2/1
Director Mark Vasina and Frank LaMere will conduct a Q&A after the 7:00 screening of BATTLE FOR WHITECLAY on Friday, January 30th. They will also be participating in a Friends of the Ross sponsored Movie Talk (with other guests TBA) on the afternoon (time TBA) of Sunday, February 1.
ONE WEEK ONLY! Forty thousand of the poorest people in America call the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation home. In this impoverished South Dakota community, jobs are scarce. Life expectancy is lower than that of Haiti.
For generations tribal elders have understood the destruction visited by alcohol upon the health, society and culture of the Oglala Lakota of the Pine Ridge. Since their reservation lands were established in 1868 the Oglalas have banned the sale and possession of alcohol. But they can't stop a tiny Nebraska border town from selling 11,000 cans of beer a day to people who walk or drive from the reservation.
This Nebraska village, population 14, is called Whiteclay.
The Battle for Whiteclay follows Native American activists Frank LaMere, Duane Martin and Russell Means through the streets of Whiteclay to the halls of Nebraska's State Capitol in their campaign to end alcohol sales in the place Nebraska newspapers have dubbed 'Skid Row on the Prairie.' The film documents a little-known social disaster in which families are torn apart and advocates for the Indian way of life confront state and local authorities. Filmmaker Mark Vasina has devoted 5 years to filming and reporting on this tragic and compelling story.

THE BATTLE FOR WHITECLAY, opening at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center on Friday, January 30, follows Native American activists Frank LaMere, Duane Martin and Russell Means through the streets of Whiteclay to the halls of Nebraska's State Capitol in their campaign to end alcohol sales in the place Nebraska newspapers have dubbed “Skid Row on the Prairie.”

THE BATTLE FOR WHITECLAY documents a little-known social disaster in which families are torn apart and advocates for the Indian way of life confront state and local authorities. Filmmaker Mark Vasina has devoted 5 years to filming and reporting on this tragic and compelling story.
“[THE BATTLE FOR WHITECLAY] chronicles a painful odyssey that should give pause to the caring, the oblivious, and those who don’t give a damn,” opines Frank LaMere, Chair of the Democratic National Committee Native Caucus.
“[THE BATTLE FOR WHITECLAY] is a must-see for every health care professional and elected official,” according to Stanley J. Evens, M.D., Fellow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine.
THE BATTLE FOR WHITECLAY is showing at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center on Friday, January 30 through Thursday, February 5. Show times are available at www.TheRoss.org, by consulting your newspaper, or by calling the MRRMAC film information line at 402.472.5353.
