SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) _ A film about the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation border town of Whiteclay, Neb., premieres Wednesday night in South Sioux City, Neb.
Mark Vasina with Nebraskans For Peace directed, produced and edited the nearly two-hour documentary called ``The Battle for Whiteclay.''
He says it follows American Indian activists Frank LaMere, Duane Martin Sr. and Russell Means in their effort to end alcohol sales in Whiteclay to residents of Pine Ridge, where alcohol is banned.
Vasina says that in the coming weeks he'll start distributing the documentary on DVD.
