honor this tradition by taking over child welfare from the state. they created l owel. la coat alala lakota people we always lived crowded. and we have four or five girls laying on the floor in the bode bedroom and as long as they were safe and protected that is acceptable dss would not allow that. using our tradition and culture we were able to find a lot of kids persona permanentsy. >> bernice's grandchildren have been able to stay together and go to school and retain the lakota culture.

the best thing in life is that we will hav we love each other. we care for each other. it's a sacred way of life for us. the transitional living program creates a who home for them. it's a home for teenagers aging out of the foster care system. >> our kids would age out of foster care with no skills to survive on their own. and a lot of them ended up pregnant or incarcerated or abusive situations and they didn't have the tools to know what independent living is. >> sarah recently arrived at the tlp. >> sh

just as tough in rapid city. that are more native americans living in poverty here than anywhere in the country if their children get taken n into custoy they lack the resources to fight the state. >> my children were taken from me last week. they said my inagen inability to protect them. i let them go with their dad and their dad took them where they shouldn't have been. >> angela's children were taken to a home of a family member that abused them previously. >> ing an thepreviously.

to challenge her right to intervene. >> the tribe has a right to intervene and they still on. on joke. - oobjectchbl . chbl. >> i can see the pain on your face. >> how can it not affect me i'm faytive. fanative. i get emotional thinking about what was lost with kid. yoyou how many kids we have lost lord? we can't change the past, but you can take bad from that and go forward.

>> fault line's correspondent we had run ins with the child welfare system and in one case losing the one. grandchildren to the child welfare system while they kept the other one. >> my father grew up in a residential school many stories i heard did hit close to home. quite familiar and quite common among the community. and you know, full disclosure you and i met at pine ridge. you and i were working on different stories there. seeing that environment the poverty is hard to com comprehend or tell somebody else. >> and some folks say why wouldn't you want your children

to leave that enviroment and elsewhere? >> the response that we haerd heard from people in poin pine ridge s that we may be poor in monetary terms tha, but we are rich in culture. that is what it boils down to the people that we interviewed, they have a different priority and different world view. one that celebrates their past and their her continuing. tryintheir heritage and when wef the community the traditional language and song were being used those were also the families where he would saw a cohesive kin group holding onto the children and raising the children together. so it's really

a question of different values of the indigenous community. the people here want to be able to pass on their own cultural values to their young people. and that is not going to hoo han if their children are taken away. in the state of the south dakota abover ipoverty is not actually reasonable grounds to remove a child from a family. >> do you see a opportunity for change here through the child we'lwell fair actwelfare acted or any other way. >> the indian child welfare act is a federal law that across the united states if a native child is to be removed from their family they are first to be placed with their kin and after someone else in their tribe. until those are exhausted a

child should be taken out and given foster care. >> the heart of the question is whether or not the exist being existing law is being lived up to in the states right now. we spoke to to many people that said the law is great. he would want th the state to fulfill it. rob canoe we appreciate you being with us. >> when we return, off the cutting room floor of history. one of the most feared leaders in the world. why didn't hollywood spotlight hitler's reign

world as what i saw as a serious threat, adolph hitler. >> in the hour and a half that hitler spoke to the packed audience that night. as sign of one of america's wealthiest and most powerful families va vanderbilt set out make his own expose. before i-phones and snap chat videos van de van der van der bn expensive fil film camera and a well known name that gave him key access to well known people in germany. >> what message do you have for the american people? >> vanderbilt understood the power of draw drama.

a chilling conversation they had with the translation of the killing views. >> tell them adolph hitler is the man of that power. tell them that adolph hitter his been sent by the almighty . what about the jews, your lesson ex- ex-sy. >> tom doroth doherty. he finds it quite remarkable. when you look at the film with modern eyes how profetic the film is. at that time 1933 doherty points

out that america was more concerned about issues at home. >> they were far away and not on many people's radar. on on this film you have corneil us vanderbilt. they are clear eyed about persecution of the jews. which brought up in a way in this film that you wouldn't see in hollywood until year later. >> vanderbilt saw the up ragech he. >> grabbing the fil filmness fid to save and i crawled under the car and glued the cans to the bottom with tape. what happens next becomes a shock to the film maker hit letter the reign of terror screened in new york and clog and san francisco. but it was immediately panned.

>> the influential film daily dismissed the notion that hitler would be any threat. and then vanderbilt's movie faced a kind of pressure that document tea air --mentry. documentary. in 1915 they 1915 they determined that films were a business. any state or any city could ban a film or demand that a film be cut before it played in their region. so a motion picture maker really had to go through a series of options or hurdles to

getcontroversial films played in the 1930s. which is a main reason why the hollywood studios stayed away from that controversial content. in the in >> a san francisco theater manager was eas arrested for shg the film and then it disappeared. doherty knew the film had existed and and expected he might final it. final -- find it. there i it really seemed to vanh in the map which was curious and then when the trail seemed cold, a chance discovery. deep in the stacks of the film archives. i came across this title in the

at thadata base and it was ther. and i looked looked at it and e were the names of hitler and vanderbilt and one title. i was curious about it. why are theying to. - together and i made some inquiries and before he would new it we had something unique in our collection. >> something unique, what is believed to be the only surviving copy cuff of hitler's reign of terror. , probably someone wanted to release the film in bel belgium or europe. and we don't know what his intention was. but to release it here. and the events advanced is him and he didn't have the time to release it. the working theory is that the film was ordered before the nazis invaded bell

belgium in 1944 if someone was showing the film they would file a complaint. so in many countries you had a censorship and they ordered the film and didn't pick it up because they knew they wouldn't be able to screen it anyway. >> it emerged as film historians are keeping a lid on hitler in the 1930s. this author accuses hollywood for forging a pact to us movie houses. when hitte hitler came to powert

movie studios demanded that though fire half of their salesmen in germany and by 1936 they failed all of their jewish salesmen in determin germany. the nazis said they couldn't make a film showing the war or the persecution of jews. for the american business to go along with each of the demands is collaboration in a sense. the notion that hollywood was implicit is challenged 'by a reminder in the 1930s in the germany and in the you had was a very different time. >> words like collaboration and comcomecom complicity. ar are over blown.

>> ththe images of the. >> announcer: nazis are so vivid. they are the universal universe emblem. so for the hollywood studio to be importing a film into germ germany in the 1930s wouldn't be considered a horror. >> the film screened in new york. >> we'll be right back.
