Reel Injun: On the Trail of the Hollywood Indian by Directed by Neil Diamond
Publication Date: 2009
A look at Hollywood's depiction of Native Americans, the film journeys through a century of cinema to set the record straight. Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond examines how the myth of the movie "Injun" has influenced the world's understanding - and misunderstanding - of Native Americans. With clips from hundreds of classic and recent films, and interviews with directors, writers, actors and activists, the film is a compendium for understanding the racial politics of Hollywood.
