REEL  INJUN:  On the Trail of the Hollywood Indian

Hollywood has made over 4000 films about Native people; over 100 years of movies defining how Indians are seen by the world.

Travelling 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.
