Massacre

U.S., 1934

Chief Joe Thunder Horse (Richard Barthelmess) is the top draw in the Wild West show he tours with, and he won’t let anyone forget it. Whether it’s speeding his gaudy sports car, bedding white women or demanding higher pay, Joe unapologetically lives life fast — until word reaches him from the reservation that his father is dying. He returns home to find his community in disarray and under the rule of a corrupt white government official and a group of con men. Pushed to breaking point, he leads his tribe to revolt against their oppressors in an explosive, damning finale.

16mm, b&w, 70 min. Director: Alan Crosland. Writer: Sheridan Gibney, Ralph Block, Robert Gessner. With: Richard Barthelmess, Ann Dvorak, Henry O'Neill.
