An unforgettable
portrait of Robin Charboneau, a 32-year old divorced single mother and Oglala
Sioux woman living on North Dakota's Spirit Lake Reservation.

Sutherland follows Robin over three years as she struggles to
raise her two children, further her education, heal herself from the wounds of
sexual abuse she suffered as a child and fulfill her goal of returning to her
reservation to help prevent the abuse of women and children. This personal
story allows us entree into the process of the tribal court and sexual abuse on
the reservation.

"As in my
other films profiling rural poverty," says Sutherland, "I was trying
to reach out to another forgotten corner of the American landscape, this time
to put a face on a Native family so that we could see them close-up with all
the detail that illuminates the rich reality of their lives."
