Screening of The Exiles (1961)

On Saturday, November 19 at  2:00 p.m. the Autry National Center will screen The Exiles which chronicles one night in the lives of a group of twenty-something Native Americans living in the Bunker Hill district of Los Angeles in the 1950s. For the men and women featured in the film, the neighborhood is an escape from the monotony of life on the reservation. Based entirely on interviews with the participants and their friends, the film is considered a precious artifact of a lost time and place. The 35mm print is courtesy of the UCLA Film and Television Archive. Free with museum admission.
