What is Sitting Bull about?
Narrated by Mo Brings Plenty, Sitting Bull is a four-hour documentary event charting the extraordinary life of the renowned leader of the Lakota people.
During the mid-19th century, American settlers were encroaching on Native American lands, leading the legendary Lakota leader to fight back.
The two-part documentary details the incredible courage of Sitting Bull and showcases the leader refusing to back down, gathering an unprecedented alliance of Native nations, battling General Custer at Little Bighorn, becoming an international celebrity with Buffalo Bill Cody, and fighting against seemingly impossible odds to save his people and their culture.
