It was the week that kept on giving! We recorded the longest interview with Leonard Peltier ever, and then, as we were leaving, Tom Morello recruited Leonard to be in the music video for his new song, "Pretend You Remember Me." So out to the back yard we went to film the opening. Check it out below!

We recorded the longest Leonard Peltier interview ever!

When we wrapped on June 26, 2025, the 50th anniversary of the firefight on Pine Ridge, Leonard reported that it was the longest interview he’s ever given.

We’re not sure if that’s good or bad, but we’ll take whatever superlatives we can get from America’s longest serving Indigenous political prisoner!

Thanks to everyone who made this shoot a success, including our new co-producers Sunny Singh and Chuck Banner. We’re thrilled with the audio and video that we captured on Turtle Mountain and look forward to sharing it in new ways in Season 3.

From Public Enemy and Billie Holiday to Beyoncé and Rage Against the Machine, musicians across genres have spoken truth to power through their songs.

Here's a list of the 100 Best Protest Songs according to Rolling Stone.

Taking a cue from the Isley Brothers’ funky 1975 single “Fight the Power” and repurposing its refrain — “We gotta fight the powers that be” — Public Enemy crafted an angry yet focused new manifesto of resistance to serve as the intro music for Spike Lee’s 1989 comment on prejudice, D...

Our Story

Native American activist Leonard Peltier has been imprisoned for over 40 years after being wrongfully convicted of the murder of two FBI agents in Oglala, South Dakota. Leonard’s appeals for a new trial have been denied despite the documented misdeeds of the FBI and a total lack of physical evidence connecting him to the crime. His release has been called for by Amnesty International, Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama.

LEONARD is a new podcast that blends social justice with true crime. The series explores the extraordinary efforts to free Leonard and the equally extraordinary efforts to keep him behind bars. With a mix of archival audio, new interviews and narration by Emmy Award winner Peter Coyote, we revisit the facts of Leonard’s case and explore its repercussions.

The goal of the podcast is to generate momentum for Peltier’s release by presidential pardon, so Leonard can live out his remaining days in freedom surrounded by family and friends.
