Honor Leonard Peltier in San Jose

LPSG (Leonard Peltier Support Group) South Bay is showing the film
"Warrior: The Life of Leonard Peltier"
on Tuesday 6th February in San Jose, to honor him on his 31st year of wrongful incarceration.

Warrior is the shocking true story of Leonard Peltier, the American Indian leader locked away for over 30 years, now incarcerated in Lewisburg Prison in Pennsylvania, wrongfully convicted of the alleged murder of two FBI agents during a bloody shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation on June 26, 1975. Around the world his trial and conviction have been denounced as a sham. Amnesty International, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Desmond Tutu, and more than fifty members of the U.S. Congress have appealed for a new trial for the man who has come to symbolize the continued oppression of America's indigenous peoples.

Warrior takes us back to the violent confrontations at Wounded Knee and Pine Ridge in the seventies, and then to today's Indian reservations where the government's plans for urnanium mining and waste dumping are still being heatedly resisted by Indian activists. The heart of the film, though, is a detailed, painstaking account of Peltier's harrowing odyssey through the American justice system. In color, 85 minutes long.

Please come to this event, bring your family and friends.
