I loved The Exiles when I saw it this year's Berlin Festival. This is a must-see movie for anyone interested in social work, indigenous peoples, or the dark side of American culture. Never boring for any viewer. I'm glad to hear your good observations about the cinematography. Can't wait to see it again here.
