Following the enormous success of Smoke Signals, Native American filmmaker Chris Eyre’s second feature, Skins explores the combative (love/hate) relationship of two Sioux Indian brothers living on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation today. Rudy (played by Eric Schweig ), is a policeman on the reservation struggling to “clean up the public image of his people” and makes several enemies along the way including Mogie (played by Graham Greene) his older brother. Mogie, the former football teen idol and family protector, is now an caustic/sarcastic alcoholic flaunting the Indian stereotype that Rudy abhors. Through biting humor and stunning visuals, Eyre sets the stage for a tale of murder, betrayal and ultimate redemption.
