it is a movie based on true events in the 1920s where a rich White man (William Hale) set out to murder native Americans in order to acquire their oil rights/revenue. It took MANY trials to finally convict him of first degree murder, yet he was paroled in 1947, despite his life sentence. It is estimated that his plot involved at least 60 murders, possibly hundreds.

It is not a "feel good" movie.
