"The restoration and long-delayed commercial release of The Exiles, a 1961 film about a largely forgotten corner of that deceptively bright city [Los Angeles], is nothing less than a welcome act of defiant remembrance." — The New York Times
Selected for the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival, The Exiles (1961) is an incredible feature 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.

Known and loved by cinephiles, and admired for its originality and honesty by such Native American filmmakers as Chris Eyres (Smoke Signals, 1998) and Ben-alex Dupris (experimental filmmaker and writer) its theatrical release in 2008 (forty-seven years after its completion) finally brought this rare jewel of American History to the general public.

SELECTED REVIEWS
"Miraculous! The Exiles has an epic grandeur and a monumental intimacy...the night photography alone would make the film immortal." — The New Yorker
"A cinéma vérité look at the rootless Native American community that once upon a time lived in Bunker Hill and hung out in downtown bars such as Club Ritz, this Kent Mackenzie film is a brooding picture of a darkly beautiful, long-gone Los Angeles." — Los Angeles Times
"Best film of the year!...This fifty year old film...stands as the freshest movie in theaters...The movie walks a night world so crackling with unfocused energy - so alive with threat, promise, and raw honking rock 'n' roll, yet so limited in any sense of a future - that to enter it is to feel your blood surge."
— The Village Voice
"The Exiles...presents one boozy night in the lives of Homer, Cliff, Tommy and Yvonne, from a convertible joy ride through the Third Street Tunnel, to an early-morning powwow." — Chicago Tribune
"Kent Mackenzie's magnificent, long-undistributed, unclassifiable first feature, The Exiles, stands as a rare consideration of the inner and outer lives of American Indians in a big American city." — Boston Globe
