More true to its title than viewers may expect, the doc cares more about underlying principles than the details of any one controversy.

The speakers meander, and the film seems unfocused. But perhaps that's the point.

Film Journal International

A shallow, context-free documentary about the effects of North Dakota oil drilling on Native American communities.

NYC Movie Guru

Heartbreaking, but often tedious and not thorough, enraging nor illuminating enough.

Rated: 4.25/10
