Ulzana's Raid
“One man alone understood the savagery of the early American west from both sides.”
Report reaches the US cavalry that the Apache leader Ulzana has left his reservation with a band of followers. A compassionate young officer, Lieutenant DeBuin, is given a small company to find him and bring him back; accompanying the troop is McIntosh, an experienced scout, and Ke-Ni-Tay, an Apache guide. Ulzana massacres, rapes and loots across the countryside; and as DeBuin encounters the remains of his victims, he is compelled to learn from McIntosh and to confront his own naivity and hidden prejudices.
A grim, unflinching look at the brutal realities of the frontier. It’s a stark, somber experience that confronts the viewer with violence and prejudice head-on, leaving a lasting, unsettling impression.
