PR The Exiles on DVD Nov 17

Oscilloscope Laboratories

Completed in 1961 and though well received at a few festivals, it was never theatrically release and rarely seen for nearly fifty years. With UCLA Film & Television Archive's magnificent restoration and Milestone's 2008 release, The Exiles stunned the film world. It introduced a filmmaker of incredible talent and insight. Gritty, realistic, beautifully photographed, energized by the brilliant rock 'n' roll score by Norman Knowles and The Revels, The Exiles is a cinematic miracle.

The Exiles

Coming to DVD on November 17, 2009!



The Exiles chronicles one night in the lives of young Native American men and women living in the Bunker Hill district of Los Angeles. Based entirely on interviews with the participants and their friends, the film follows a group of exiles - transplants from Southwest reservations - as they flirt, drink, party, fight, and dance.
