Inspired by the best-selling book by Dee Brown, this film 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. This is a tale told through two unique perspectives: Charles Eastman (Beach), a young, white-educated Sioux doctor held up as living proof of the alleged success of assimilation, and Sitting Bull (Schellenberg), the proud Lakota chief whose tribe won the American Indians' last major victory at Little Big Horn.
