Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (2007)

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee reconfirms that the respectable dream of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America was founded on plain genocide - of the indigenous people. Malicious deception, criminal fraud, legalized theft, rape and sadistic atrocities were deceitfully translated into the US constitutional virtues of democracy, liberty or indeed the right of well regulated mass murderers to "keep and bear arms".
In the 1880s, after the U. S. Army's defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the government continues to push Sioux Indians off their land. In Washington, D.C., Senator Henry Dawes (Aidan Quinn) introduces legislation to protect Native Americans rights. In South Dakota, schoolteacher Elaine Goodale (Anna Paquin) joins Sioux native and Western-educated Dr. Charles Eastman in working with tribe members. Meanwhile, Lakota Chief Sitting Bull refuses to give into mounting government pressures.
