Description 1 online resource (streaming video file) (73 minutes): .flv file, sound, black and white Summary "The Exiles" of the title are displaced Native Americans, living in late 1950s Los Angeles on Bunker Hill, a depressed area connected to the rest of the city by the Angels Flight trolley. They were already exiles, from the moment they lost their ancestral lands and were confined to reservations. Starting on Friday afternoon and closing Saturday morning, the film follows pregnant Yvonne, her husband Homer, and their Mexican acquaintance Tommy Reynolds. Yvonne cooks dinner, Homer and Tommy drop her off at an "all-nite" movie and go to a bar, where they join a group on a joyride out to a hill--Hill X--and drunkenly greet the morning with tribal songs and dancing, while Yvonne sleeps in her neighbor's bed. A beautifully photographed slice of down-and-almost-out life, this is a portrait of women and men who are depressed over their diaspora, poverty, loneliness, alienation, lack of education and opportunity, and trying to escape the grip of a durable Los Angeles nightmare Notes Title from title frames Credits Photography, Erik Daarstad, Robert Kaufman, John Morrill ; editors, Kent Mackenzie and 5 others ; music, Anthony Hilder, The Revels, Eddie Sunrise, Robert Hafner Cast Yvonne Williams, Homer Nish, Tommy Reynolds, Rico Rodriguez, Clifford Ray Sam, Clydean Parker, Mary Donahue Event Originally produced as a motion picture in 1961 Notes In English Closed-captioned in English Subject Indians of North America -- California -- Los Angeles -- Social conditions -- Drama Urban Indians -- California -- Los Angeles -- Drama Young adults -- California -- Los Angeles -- Drama Streaming video.
