In the Land of the Headhunters

Studio 360

Edward Curtis is known for his early 20th-century photos of Native Americans, but he also made a silent movie with an all-indigenous cast, called “In the Land of the Head Hunters.” The film is being shown again now, accompanied by a live orchestra – this time, the musicians are all Native. Produced by Trent Wolbe.
