This emotional documentary dramatically re-tells the story of the Trail of Tears, the brutal relocation of Native Americans from their homelands in the East to Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma. Men, women, and children were forced to march more than 1,000 grueling miles to territories west of the Mississippi. Native Americans suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation on the march, and many died, including 4,000 of the 15,000 relocated Cherokee. Trail of Tears was produced in conjunction with the Cherokee Nation, giving the filmmakers unprecedented access and support to make every aspect of the film culturally and historically accurate. Filmed in stunning high-definition and utilizing feature-quality historical reenactments, this theatrical documentary captures the devastating hardship, suffering, and -- ultimately -- the triumph of Native Americans driven from their homelands.
