A tale of Native genocide, carried out on the Osage after discovering massive oil wealth. Basis for the hit movie. Still resonates today and demonstrates the importance of telling Native stories.

From Sophie Brooks, a film that makes Misery or Gerald’s Game into a romantic comedy. Funny tension, ridiculous dialogue, and a cute ending. Weird, but good.
