Native American activist Frank LaMere and filmmaker Mark Vasina will discuss the 2008 documentary, "The Battle for Whiteclay," at the New School in New York City.

The film will be screened at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the school. LaMere and Vasina will answer questions about the film from audience members.

The movie was the culmination of a five-year effort by producer/director Vasina. The documentary follows LaMere, Duane Martin Sr. and Russell Means through the streets of Whiteclay to the halls of Nebraska's State Capitol in their campaign to end alcohol sales in Whiteclay, a border town that sells 11,000 cans of beer a day to people who walk or drive from the South Dakota Pine Ridge reservation. Since the reservation lands were established in 1868, the Oglalas have banned the sale and possession of alcohol on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
