UW Cinematheque Special Event

After decades in obscurity, this newly unearthed treasure is being heralded as a lost Los Angeles masterpiece on par with "Killer of Sheep." Following a nonprofessional cast of Native Americans through the doomed corridors of Bunker Hill, this film has been hailed for its gritty, realistic portrait of life off the reservation, a welcome rebuke to Hollywood's "wise savage" stereotype. (USA, 1961, 35mm, b/w, 72 min.)
