The film traces poet John Trudell's (1946-2015) life from his childhood in Omaha, Nebraska, through his role as one of leaders of the Occupation of Alcatraz and Radio Free Alcatraz in 1969, to serving as Chairman of the American Indian Movement from 1973-1979. It also covers his rebirth as a poet after his wife, mother-in-law and three children died in a house fire suspected as suspicious but never investigated.
