Directed by Neil Diamond and Catherine BainbridgeReleasing Jun 15 1h 44m
Red Fever is co-directed by Indigenous filmmaker Neil Diamond (Reel Injun) and Catherine Bainbridge (Reel Injun, RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World, which won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize for Masterful Storytelling). Red Fever follows Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond's journey to the four corners of North America and to Europe to uncover why the world is so fascinated with Native Americans and why the same images persist year after year until today. Through iconic and entertaining pop culture images, and a rocking Native American soundtrack, Red Fever looks at the roots of how and why Native American cultures have been revered, romanticized, appropriated -and in the process uncovers the truth about the profound impact of Indigenous peoples on western culture.
