HEADLINER
Leonard Peltier, one of the surviving leaders of the American Indian Movement, has been in prison for 50 years following a contentious conviction. This very timely and important film showcases a new generation of Native activists who are committed to winning his freedom before he dies.
Winner of the “Best Feature Documentary” and Amnesty International Award at the 2025 Thessaoniki International Documentary Festival, FREE LEONARD PELTIER is directed by Jesse Short Bull (Lakota Nation vs. the United States) and David France (How To Survive a Plague, The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson, and Welcome to Chechnya), and produced by Bird Runningwater.
