I found this documentary film in the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die book, I read more about it and it certainly sounded interesting enough, I was hoping the book placement would be deserved. Basically this film chronicles the lives of a group of twenty-something Native Americans, or "urban Indians" during a night out in Los Angeles. Yvonne Williams is pregnant and comments on her life and dreams, she does simple things such as shopping and cooking, while her husband Homer Nish goes out with friends to go drinking and gambling, during the night the men pick up women and have fights. Also starring Tom Reynolds, Rico Rodriguez, Clifford Ray Sam, Clydean Parker and Mary Donahue. The cast playing themselves are alright, you can tell however that many of the scenes are staged and scripted a little, but I suppose it makes it more interesting, all in all it's not a film I'd see again, it is I suppose a reasonable documentary. Okay, worth seeing once at least!
