520    What does a family have to endure to create a future for 
       itself? When the Oglala Sioux Tribe passed an ordinance 
       separating industrial hemp from its illegal cousin, 
       marijuana, Alex White Plume and his family glimpsed a 
       brighter future. Having researched hemp as a sustainable 
       crop that would grow in the inhospitable soil of the South
       Dakota Badlands, the White Plumes envisioned a new economy
       that would impact the 85% unemployment rate on the Pine 
       Ridge Reservation. They never dreamed they would find 
       themselves swept up in a struggle over tribal sovereignty,
       economic rights, and common sense. From the hemp fields of
       Pine Ridge to the US Federal Court of Appeals, the one-
       hour documentary Standing Silent Nation tracks one 
       family's effort to create economic independence for 
       themselves, their reservation, and their future 
       generations. The hemp plant is like a new buffalo for the 
       Lakota: a resource whose many uses from food to fuel to 
       fiber, could enrich their sovereign nation. For three 
       years, Alex White Plume and his family planted industrial 
       hemp. But each year, their harvest was disrupted by the 
       Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which claims that 
       hemp is marijuana despite the absence of marijuana's 
       psychoactive properties. Standing Silent Nation challenges
       contemporary notions of Native America, while providing a 
       compelling and engaging story rarely covered in mainstream
       media. This film is made possible with the support of 
       Native American Public Telecommunications, the Paul 
       Robeson Fund for Independent Media, the Playboy Foundation,
       and many others who have donated to the project over the 
       years. Filmmaker: Courtney Hermann, Suree Towfighnia
