Killers of the Flower Moon

Killers of the Flower Moon

Nominated for ten Oscars, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon recounts one of the nation’s most shameful chapters. In its depiction of the Osage Indian Murders, the film portrays the Eastern Oklahoma white community that systematically plotted to swindle and kill Osage tribal members for their land and oil rights. Epic and extensive in scale, Scorsese leaves no stone unturned and constructs a damning statement on complicity and its stain left on this country, its landscape, and its Indigenous people.
