About The Exiles (1961)
The Exiles, a feature-length documentary portrayal of Native Americans living near LA’s Skid Row provides a remarkable glimpse into the daily reality of their lives. Filmed in the late 1950s, The Exiles reflected the growing alienation of many young Americans at the time. From the perspective of more than half a century, The Exiles raises still-pertinent questions about the nature of contemporary urban poverty. The loss of community, of stable relationships now even more endemic than it was in the 1950s, these portrayals may help us redefine the poverty around us in broader and more meaningful terms than simple economic deprivation. Now deemed a “classic” by the Library of Congress, The Exiles is also celebrated as a notable cinematic achievement of the period and an early example of what came to be known as Cinéma Vérité. World Premiere: Venice Film Festival 1961.
Written, Directed, and Produced by Kent Mackenzie. Production by Ronald Austin, Sam Farnsworth, John Morrill, Erik Daarstad, Robert Kaufman, Beth Pattrick, Sven Walnum, and Paula Powers.
Provided courtesy of Milestone Films. Not rated. Running time: 72 minutes.
