Sitting Bull

As American settlers relentlessly move west during the mid 19th century, they increasingly encroach on Native American lands, until a legendary Lakota leader emerges, one determined to fight back. From Executive Producers Leonardo DiCaprio, Crystal Echo Hawk, Larry Pourier, Dee Jay Two Bears and Stephen David, and in partnership with IllumiNative, Sitting Bull is a four-hour documentary event charting the extraordinary life of the renowned leader of the Lakota people. Refusing to back down, Sitting Bull gathers an unprecedented alliance of Native nations, battles General Custer at Little Bighorn, becomes an international celebrity with Buffalo Bill Cody, and fights against seemingly impossible odds to save his people and their culture.
