A historical documentary focusing on the events that occurred on the Osage reservation in the 1920s. In the early 1900s death was all too common in the oil boom town of Fairfax on the Osage reservation. Osage people were dying at alarming rates. Local authorities were quick to attribute these deaths to “accident,” “suicide” or “poison whiskey.” But when the Smith home was blown up in Fairfax it became apparent to everyone that someone was murdering the Osage people.
Reviews
Very well executed
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
