The Exiles (1961) is a film by Kent MacKenzie chronicling a day in the life of a group of twenty-something Native Americans who left reservation life in the 1950s to live in the district of Bunker Hill, Los Angeles, California. Bunker Hill was then a blighted residential locality of decayed Victorian mansions, sometimes featured in the writings of Raymond Chandler, John Fante, and Charles Bukowski. The structure of the film is that of a narrative feature, the script pieced together from interviews with the documentary subjects. The film features Yvonne Williams, Homer Nish, and Tommy Reynolds.
Production
Filming was done in 1958. The film features rock and roll music composed for the film and performed by The Revels. The cast of American Indian actors are notable for their lack of self-consciousness as they drink and socialize during a night out on the town ending in a 49 party of drumming and dancing on "Hill X" overlooking downtown LA.
Release
The Exiles premiered at the 1961 Venice Film Festival. As it was only licensed 16mm version to schools and churches, it did not find a distributor to release it theatrically in that year, and so over the years it fell into obscurity, known to cinephiles but remaining largely unseen by the public. A restored version produced by the UCLA Film and Television Archive premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in February 2008, and Milestone Films released it commercially and on DVD in summer 2008.
The things that you say may not be to my taste, The words of a veteran. Now say to me you're included. The things that I do may not be to your taste, The acts of an idiot. Now come to me, I'll accept that. Id never come looking for trouble. Im just exercising my right, My right to an explanation, I've discarded the one I was given, It carried too little weight. We learned to rise above it, Have seen the strings on the hands of the puppets That tell us how to behave. And by the time the tides of the ocean Had cradled me in their arms, God tried to kill me. I mind the time the winds of the country Helped me run faster, I flew through the village. That said I'd come looking for trouble, When I was exercising my right. My right to an explanation, I've discarded the one I was given, It carried too little weight. We learned to rise above it, Have seen the strings on the hands of the puppets That tell us how to behave. Who wrote the letter? Who wrote it? My right to an explanation, Gale force come take me to another S ettlement far away. Our God exiled from heaven, Banished like a drunk from his other,
