Cree
filmmaker Neil Diamond takes an entertaining and insightful look
at the Hollywood Indian, exploring the portrayal of North American
Natives through a century of cinema.
Travelling through the heartland of America, Diamond looks at how the
myth of “the Injun” has influenced the
world’s understanding – and misunderstanding
– of Natives.
With clips from hundreds of classic and recent films, and candid
interviews with celebrated Native and non-Native directors, writers,
actors and activists, including Clint Eastwood, Robbie Robertson,
Sacheen Littlefeather, John Trudell and Russell Means, Reel Injun
traces the evolution of cinema’s depiction of Native people
from the silent film era to today.
