A lot of people have been drawn to Standing Rock, including many talented filmmakers and photographers.

Director Kyle Bell recently teamed up with Adam Beach to produce this short documentary about the movement and their time there.

Capturing the heart of a movement that is constantly evolving is difficult. How do you capture Spirit? “Defend The Sacred” is a short documentary that attempts to capture the spirit of Indigenous people at Standing Rock.
