THE BUFFALO WAR examines the culture clash between Native Americans, ranchers, environmentalists and government officials battling over the yearly slaughter of America's last wild bison. A 500-mile protest march by Lakota Sioux, the travails of a ranching family and the civil disobedience tactics of a radical environmental group reveal tensions in the American West at the start of a new century.

Premiere: PBS, November 2001

"A scathing exposé of the fiendish state-supported conspiracies to exterminate the last vestiges of a noble creature — and a people — who once dominated the western plains."
- University of Southern Colorado
"A fascinating look at the untold story of the current decimation of the last wild herd of buffalo...skillfully interweaves the stories of radical environmentalists, protesting Native Americans, and a ranch family."
- San Francisco Film Society
