The Exiles

Kino Lorber • 1h 12m

Directed by Kent Mackenzie • Documentary • With Yvonne Williams, Homer Nish, Tom Reynolds • 1961 • 72 minutes

Leaving OVID on July 31st!

The Exiles chronicles a night in the life of young Native Americans who fled reservation life to roam the Bunker Hill district of Los Angeles. Outside filmmaker Kent Mackenzie crafted this narrative depiction of a real L.A. community by involving his cast in the writing and filming process, a bold choice that resulted in a gritty and poetic piece of cinema, but lost Mackenzie his chances of U.S. distribution. Now, this unique classic returns.
