Reaching an armistice agreement in the Korean War was no easy process. Months and months of acrimonious debate mixed with bloody, costly fights near the 38th parallel. Frustration over the armistice process animated the 1952 presidential campaign culminating in then-Presidential-candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower’s iconic pledge to go to Korea. Over the first months of Eisenhower’s administration, North Korean, Chinese, and United Nations Command forces found an armistice.

“Black Indians: An American Story” brings to light a forgotten part of Americans past — the cultural and racial fusion of Native Americans and African Americans. Narrated by James Earl Jones, the film explores what brought the two groups together, what drove them apart and the challenges they face today. A society that wants to build the future must know its past, its real past, as it was.
But what if that past had been lost, forgotten, hidden, or denied?
