Human beings are highly emotional creatures; therefore, poetry used in Trudell serves as a way to draw out the viewer’s sympathy and allows the film to quickly establish a connection with the audience. In the opening of the documentary, Trudell reads lines from one of his poems in which he uses a metaphor to show the sick relationship the government has with its citizens: “society a broken promise / economy’s war / citizen whores / political pimps / leaving us flat on our backs” (Trudell). These line tells how the government makes all kinds of promises to the citizens that it has no intention of keeping and how the government will use the citizens is any way it sees fit to accomplish whatever task is feels necessary and the citizens do whatever it takes no matter how demining or disgusting to see those promises come true. Trudell’s poems acted as an outlet for a release of the frustration he felt due to the things that were taking place in his community, and for other Native People, his poetry was a refuge they could run to, to seek shelter from the invading

The hummingbirds’ liberty mirrors that of people; however, both must find their respective sweetness to survive. In the hummingbirds’ case, the sweetness is nectar, while with people, the sweetness is love and kindness. The metaphor of the ‘wall’ shows that although people may try to shut themselves away from others, their need for love will prevail when presented with hope. Because the long for love is inescapable, even the mere possibility of grasping at love can break barriers and change the mindset of those who have detached themselves from it. Through Doyle’s elaborate comparisons and meaningful word choice, his ideas about all aspects of the heart are portrayed eloquently, and his message about the difficulty of escaping the yearning for love resonates

The focus on individualistic characters discovering their own potentials is prevalent throughout the works Anthem and The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.
