Interviews and archival footage profile the life of Dennis Banks, American Indian Movement leader who looks back at his early life and the rise of the Movement.

This film features six prominent women successful in a variety of fields: Katharine Graham, president of the Washington Post Company; Dr. Virginia Apgar, specialist in the problems of newborn infants; LaDonna Harris, founder of Americans for Indian Opportunity; Shirley Chisholm, first black U.S. Congresswoman; Nikki Giovanni, poet; and Helen Reddy, singer.
