Horror fan 4 This is a very well made movie based on a true story. It's a sad story but the performances were great. I felt it was to short of a movie and I wanted more. Tim Treakle Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Jerod S The pipeline's story is an interesting one - but the way this drama played out felt heavy handed on one side of the issue. Mapother's PTSD seemed to be manipulated to fit the ending in mind. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Alexander Alika K If not for Amy Smart and her talent I believe it would be even worse of a overthought drama. I do believe you get the story needed to be told but this portrayal was done poorly! Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/23 Full Review Callista F Josh and Rebecca Tickell's "On Sacred Ground" is a tragic drama following the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The story takes us along a struggling journalist trying to please the oil companies by writing a piece on the pipeline. The main character Daniel played by William Mapother indulges into his internal conflict as he faces the behind the scenes of the pipeline. The tension thickens as the Sioux tribe is willing to defend their land, the built up pressure is tangible as protests begin to form taunting the oil companies. This cinematic masterpiece has some powerful scenes with strong authentic messages that take place in real time. The interlocking of perspectives from each character arouses curiosity from the audience revealing the two different sides of the story. This movie is an emotionally strong film that is definitely worth giving a watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Jennifer B On Sacred Ground, directed by Josh and Rebecca Tickell, is an eye-opening film that is based on the true story of the controversial continuation of the Dakota Access Pipeline. For individuals who lived through this modern issue or for ones who have never been introduced, this motion picture tells this story through a whole new perspective. The direction of this film was excellent as it followed the veteran point of view, while simultaneously emphasizing the importance of upholding indigenous rights. The theme of On Sacred Ground is to emphasize a fight for equal rights while showing respect to all people. For standing up for their beliefs, the Lakota "Sioux" Tribe is being exploited in the news as they protect their land. The scope from each perspective in this cinematic picture is what makes this film so special. The movie does not just lay down the facts, it brings out the emotion and the ethical dilemma all parties had to face. The unique perspective takes viewers for a ride. On Sacred Ground demonstrates the important concept that there is not just one side to a story, which is why I strongly recommend giving this film a watch! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The fact that this is a true story told by one man searching for redemption.
