Film Description
What happens when an Indian tribe's dreams of casino profits clash with small town values? The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria want to build a casino in Rohnert Park, CA, on land that once belonged to their ancestors. But many current residents dispute whether the history of the land should determine its future.
Through the voices of people who are directly affected by Indian gaming, The Rules of the Game explores a modern day dilemma, where deeply held beliefs about race and economic opportunity get turned on their heads and where the definition of justice is in flux.
