About

You can stream Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (2007) on Max with a subscription.

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.

Somber and unrelenting, this period piece captures the crushing weight of a vanishing way of life through the fractured lens of two opposing men. You will feel the suffocating pressure of forced assimilation clashing against the fierce, final stands of the Lakota.
