Exclusive: Concourse Media has launched world sales rights during the virtual AFM on social impact drama-thriller On Sacred Ground, starring William Mapother, David Arquette, Amy Smart, Kerry Knuppe, Frances Fisher, Irene Bedard and Mariel Hemingway.
Directed by Josh and Rebecca Tickell, the film is based on the true 2016 events during the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline that runs through the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota on land that is owned by the Lakota “Sioux” Tribe. We’re told that the filmmakers worked alongside the Sioux tribe to ensure their depiction of the events to ensure their story was accurately told.
Pic was written by the Tickells (Kiss The Ground) and Lost actor Mapother.
The film follows Daniel (Mapother), a journalist and Afghanistan War veteran, and Elliot (Arquette), an oil company executive, who find themselves on opposite sides of the fight during the construction of the contentious pipeline.
