On Sacred Ground is more than just a story about an oil pipeline encroaching native land. Josh and Rebecca Tickell have once again used their platform in film to give voices to those who are struggling. Army veteran, Daniel McKinney, portrayed by William Mapother, exemplifies the struggles U. S. veterans face when they return home from deployment. The trauma they experience overseas is often overlooked and unfortunately mental health programs are not prioritized enough. The Tickell's also made sure to acknowledge the injustice that Indigenous women face. This is a topic that I personally have not seen talked about on screen before. This movie intellectually challenges you with its various perspectives of a controversial societal issue. It's an emotional and moving watch that I recommend seeing as soon as possible!
