Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
“The Epic Fall of the American Indian”
WesternDramaHistoryTV Movie
Beginning just after the bloody Sioux victory over General Custer at Little Big Horn, the story is told through two unique perspectives: Charles Eastman, a young, white-educated Sioux doctor held up as living proof of the alleged success of assimilation, and Sitting Bull the proud Lakota chief whose tribe won the American Indians’ last major victory at Little Big Horn.
VIBE
A profoundly somber and tragic historical drama. It's an infuriating, heartbreaking look at cultural collision and the devastating consequences of assimilation policies. The slow burn pacing amplifies the sense of inevitable loss and injustice.
