Bring Them Home

Settlers killed 30 million buffalo, targeting the Blackfeet way of life. A century later, bringing them back meant fighting the cattle economy that replaced them, navigating tribal divisions, and overcoming fierce internal opposition.

Filmed over eight years and narrated by Lily Gladstone, the documentary follows Blackfeet leaders through this decades-long struggle. Gorgeous cinematography captures not just Montana landscape but community moments—elders passing knowledge to youth, internal divisions being addressed, traditions reconnected. Ecological restoration becomes cultural healing.

A story of cultural survival through ecological restoration, patience, and community persistence.
