Decades after covering up his classmate’s murder, Michael has moved on from his reservation and fractured past. When a man who shares his violent secret seeks vengeance, Michael goes to great lengths to protect his new life.

In his feature debut, Lyle Mitchell Corbine Jr. tells a story that spans the history of the Native American people and the legacy of violence it carries. ”Wild Indian has the feel of Greek tragedy infused with film-noir fatalism. Featuring superb performances by Michael Greyeyes and Chaske Spencer in the lead roles, the film, receiving its world premiere at Sundance, marks an auspicious feature debut for its writer/director” – The Hollywood Reporter.
