Title: Excellent attempt to capture what really happened
Review: What actually happened at Little Big Horn may remain a mystery forever, but this film is one of the most balanced and honest attempts to explain the events of Custer's Last Stand. The documentary uses Native American accounts, contemporary newspaper reports and U.S. Army archives to interpret the events leading to that day and what transpired. The film employs still photographs of the battlefield and the battle's key participants to set the context. The roles of key Native American leaders are explored, as is the impact other U.S. Army campaigns had on the mindset of those leaders. To provide a counterbalance, this film also examines the personality of the flamboyant and headstrong George Armstrong Custer. "Last Stand at Little Big Horn" continues the tradition of the PBS series "American Experience" in searching for the truth in an honest and objective manner.
