COMMUNITY RATING




A dusk-to-dawn story of young American Indians in Los Angeles’ gritty Bunker Hill neighborhood — THE EXILES follows a group of friends as they spend the night bar hopping, drinking, fighting and flirting. Over the course of three years, filmmaker Kent Mackenzie worked closely with his Indian cast to chronicle their lives as urban exiles from their Southwest reservations. Breaking away from traditional Hollywood filmmaking, Mackenzie created a searing, documentary style that combined glowing cinematography with gritty realism. Very much a collaborative undertaking, THE EXILES features the music of The Revels (Pulp Fiction) and the photography of Erik Daarstad, Robert Kaufman and John Morrill.
