HE HURLED THE LANCE THAT SMASHED CUSTER THAT HISTORIC DAY AT LITTLE BIG HORN!

Western

When young Crazy Horse, of whom great things were predicted, wins his bride, rival Little Big Man goes to villainous traders with evidence of gold in the sacred Lakota burial ground. Of course, a new gold rush starts despite all treaties, and Crazy Horse becomes military leader of his people. Initial Indian victories lead to the inevitable result. Uniquely, all is told from the Indian perspective.

VIBE

A sweeping, somber tale of a legendary leader's struggle against encroaching forces. It feels like a grand, tragic Western, told with a deep reverence for its subject, culminating in inevitable, heartbreaking loss.
