THE BOTTOM LINE: Nonfictional and fictional quests for the same truth -- a thinking person's double feature.
IN INCIDENT AT OGLALA, WHICH IS A documentary, two FBI agents lose their life as they pursue a suspect on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Sioux Indian reservation. In Thunderheart, which is fictional, an FBI agent regains his soul as he investigates a murder in the same place.
Both movies also share a director, Michael Apted, who is probably the first filmmaker ever to bring out such closely related works...
