The American Buffalo (2023)
Essential viewing

This documentary shook me to my core and should be required viewing in all American schools and universities in my humble opinion. I had not felt this particular way since I walked out of the Native American Smithsonian museum some years back. Sadness, guilt, anger, confusion, disgust.
The stain of genocide, slavery, imperialism and colonialism wrought on the planet and humanity by Europeans and Americans will never be washed away. Infinite and never ending shame to those that participated in it.
Ken Burns is a national and global treasure for his story telling abilities. This documentary is no different from his others, in its clarity and brutality of telling the cold, hard, historical truth.
