- Description: What are the facts? And what is the truth? in 1975, armed FBI agents illegally entered the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Gunfire erupted - a Native American and two FBI agents fell dead. After the largest manhunt in FBI history, three men were apprehended - only one, Leonard Peltier, was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. This is his story.

Many people, including some of today's greatest legal minds, believe that Peltier is an innocent man. Twelve years ago, Robert Redford visited Leonard Peltier in prison.

This riveting performance was recorded live at the Church Street Station in Orlando, Florida and features George Jones with special guests Johnny Rodriguez and Mark Gray. In terms of sheer dramatic power, George Jones is arguably the greatest singer in the history of country music. He recorded one of the greatest country records of all time, "He Stopped Loving Her Today," which won him single and male vocalist of the year honors from the CMA in 1980 and 1981 and a Grammy. Despite his identification with somber songs, Jones has also shown a fondness for lighthearted and novelty tunes such as, "White Lightning". It's this versatility that makes a George Jones concert such a memorable event. This DVD is proof.
