,” the first dramatic feature by environmental activist documentarians Josh and Rebecca Tickell, this technically polished indie effort is overall more admirable in its intent than compelling in its narrative. And there’s really no way of getting around the fact that many viewers will be put off by the abundance of “white savior melodrama” in a movie putatively focused on 2016 protests by Native Americans and their allies against construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
McKinney is hand-picked by the editor of the fictional Houston Daily as the perfect journalist to provide the “right perspective” while covering the problematical protesters threatening to impede progress of the pipeline because he’s a Republican, his credit rating is below sea level and his very pregnant wife is about to give birth to the couple’s first child.
Indeed, his editor is so pleased with McKinney’s work that she sends him back to Standing Rock, to ingratiate himself with the protestors while pretending to be, if not an ardent supporter, then an objective journalist, and to expose them as threats to the American Way of Life. Not surprisingly, something else happens.
