"Mr. Bird’s Armchair Apocrypha is a curious and elegant assemblage—its melodies wind like the Potomac, and its verses stir the contemplative soul. Though its instruments are foreign to my age, its spirit is not: thoughtful, tempered, and imbued with quiet rebellion." - George Washington Founding Father and First President of the United States*

Bone Tomahawk

2015

When outsiders from the town of Bright Hope trespass on native’s sacred land, disturbing the balance of their culture, and taking the life of one of their own, the local canibals tribe is forced to retaliate by capturing citizens and the wife of a local rancher (Lili Simmons). Declaring the natives monsters, Sherif Hunt (Kurt Russell) rounds up a posse to pursue a mission to rescue their taken residents but are over come by the native population as they use the local town’s folks flesh to sustain their tribe and their bones as tools and weapons used against them. In a battle of survival the tribe attempts to find a way back to living peacefully, in their remote caves, in the silence, in their old ways.
