This exciting two-disc set features a beautifully restored version of Kent MacKenzie's remarkable 1961 debut feature chronicling one night in the lives of a group of young Native American men and women (transplants from South West reservations) as they flirt, fight, party and dance in the Bunker Hill district of Los Angeles. The film is great to watch on its own, but to really appreciate the historical and cultural significance of MacKenzie's work dive into the second disc of commentary, short films, and other treats. You will be amazed.
