West of Thunder
West of Thunder
Set amongst the stunning and unique beauty of the Badlands of South Dakota and picking up nine years after the Massacre of Wounded Knee, the Lakota people on Pine Ridge Reservation are on a precipice. Henry Seed arrives to this desolate area just as eerie and inexplicable events, closely akin to the horrors that had been visited upon the Lakota people in recent years, begin to occur in this western town. The people start to believe that poor Henry Seed is some sort of supernatural demon seeking retribution and revenge. With their faith faltering the local people turn to the Lakota spiritual leader, Little Thunder, who must help maintain the peace or encourage his people to take the path of revenge…
