Plot Summary[]
The Reawakening tells the story of a successful Native American attorney, Robert Doctor (Michael Greyeyes), who must choose between his affluent lifestyle in New York City, working for a 'white shoe' law firm, and his own self-respect. While trying to negotiate a huge casino deal that would put his home reservation at great risk, a childhood friend is accused of murder. Tribal elder Wesley Good Voice (Gordon Tootoosis) asks Robert to defend his friend, forcing him to finally choose between his carefully built world of corporate success and the needs and traditional values of his native people.
