It documents the whole Sioux history from Little Big Horn to the Wounded Knee Massacre, which is not only a long stretch of time, but a lot happened. One complaint though: if you're gonna name the movie after the massace, don't skim over the massacre! They spent about 5 minutes on it and that was it.
I don't know if I'd recommend it or not, because to me, it was just a rehashing of all the stuff I learned out on Pine Ridge. Since it covers a whole period of time, it doesn't delve too deep into any one event or person. One thing I don't recall hearing before was that the Canadians were a hell of a lot better at Indian relations than us. Meaning, they let the natives (up from America) chill on their land so long as they didn't piss off the other tribes. Thus reiterating the fact that Canadians are nice.
I did also watch Downfall the other day, and I'd recommend that one. (Thankstrovia!)
