Today on Wake Island, we have documentarian Jack Riccobono, who directed one of my all-time favorite documentaries, The Seventh Fire, which was produced by Natalie Portman, Chris Eyre, and Terrence Mallick.

The Seventh Fire follows Rob Brown, a Native American gang leader, and his 17-year old protege on the White Earth Indian Reservation in Minnesota. We experience most of the film through Rob, who is the heart and soul of the film. Having bounced from prison to prison throughout his life, Rob is at a crossroad, wrestling with an uncertain future living isolated on a reservation.
