How is the world wrong about Wild Indian?

From Andras: This tense and provocative crime drama could justly be labeled a “native noir”. Lyle Mitchell Corbine Jr’s feature film debut focuses on two men from the rez who, following a deadly crime in their childhood, take distinctly divergent paths into adulthood. When the one who stayed behind, suffering tremendous guilt, begins divulging their crime, the other, who left the reservation for a life in the corporate white world, has to embody the film’s title in ways that leave the viewer with more questions than answers.
