Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee
[DVD]

Description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Inspired by the best-selling book by Dee Brown, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee tells the tragic and powerful story of the subjugation and cultural extermination of the American Indian. Beginning just after the bloody Sioux victory over General Custer at Little Big Horn, the story culminates in the massacre at Wounded Knee. The story is told through two unique perspectives: Charles Eastman (Adam Beach, Flags of Our Fathers), a young, white-educated Sioux doctor held up as living proof of the alleged success of assimilation, and Sitting Bull (August Schellenberg, The New World), the proud Lakota chief whose tribe won the American Indians’ last major victory at Little Big Horn. SYNOPSIS Golden Globe nominated, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee follows in the footsteps of fellow high-quality HBO productions such as Deadwood. The action begins at Little Big Horn with the Sioux triumph over General Custer, and then continues by following three key figures from the battle.
