“Chuck Connors as Geronimo! That’s like Adam Sandler as Malcolm X!” quips Native American comedian Charlie Hill, one of the many indigenous voices in Reel Injun. Hollywood has made over 4,000 films about native people: over 100 years of film defining how American Indians are seen by the world. Reel Injun takes an entertaining and insightful look at the "Hollywood Indian," exploring the portrayal of North American natives from the silent film era to today. Traveling through the heartland of America, Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond looks at how the myth of “the Injun” has influenced the world’s understanding—and misunderstanding—of natives. Featuring interviews with directors, writers, actors, and activists, including Clint Eastwood, Jim Jarmusch, Robbie Robertson, Sacheen Littlefeather, John Trudell, and Russell Means, as well as clips from hundreds of classic and recent films.
