Taking viewers straight to the front lines of the Dakota Access Pipeline battle, Beyond Standing Rock is a one-hour documentary that captures multiple facets in its short run time. The filmmakers explore the conflict of against the Pipeline and the struggle for Native American rights against the backdrop of the new Trump administration. But the story is more than just the specific struggle to stop the movement of oil across tribal lands, it is also a story of the endless conflict between the U. S. government and the tribes, of a continued pattern of broken promises, and the impact of oil on the environment. With beautiful cinematography, insightful interviews and a willingness to confront all of the issues, Beyond Standing Rock is a startling look at one of the most pressing issues of the day.
