Charley-One-Eye

In a blistering critique of racism and exploitation, "Charley-One-Eye" (1973) delivers a harrowing tale of survival, forged in the unforgiving heartland of America during the tumultuous Civil War era. A black Union Army deserter forms an uneasy alliance with his crippled American Indian hostage to evade the deadly clutches of a racist bounty hunter and marauding bandits. As they navigate treacherous terrain and treacherous allegiances, their tenuous partnership is tested by the very people who claim to seek justice – for what it means to be free in a nation torn asunder by hatred and violence. This searing Western drama distills the brutal realities of a nation's darkest hour into an unflinching portrayal of resistance and resilience.
