IMDb profile

Standing Silent Nation is a 2007 documentary film about Alex White Plume, an industrious resident of South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation. After a great deal of research, Alex and his family planted industrial hemp, under the incorrect assumption that tribal sovereignty laws would allow the production of this non-psychoactive relative of marijuana, and the film details the consequences of his actions. ^[1]

Standing Silent Nation was directed by Suree Towfighnia and aired as part of PBS's Point of View series in 2007.
