Reel Injun

In Reel Injun, filmmaker Neil Diamond, a Cree himself, takes a profound and humorous look at the portrayal of Native Americans in film, from the early days of cinema to the present day. Through interviews with famous directors, writers, and actors, both Native and non-Native, Diamond delves into how these depictions have impacted our understanding and misunderstanding of Native American culture and history. With clips from hundreds of movies and candid conversations with the likes of Clint Eastwood and Jim Jarmusch, Reel Injun offers a fascinating and eye-opening journey into the evolution of the "Hollywood Indian."
