Was he Black man, White man, or Indigenous Chief? This film looks at a legendary and fascinating impostor, Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance. In the early 1900s, he garnered international acclaim as a soldier, journalist, writer, photographer, bon vivant and movie star. Despite his very public life, the truth of his origins remain shrouded in mystery. Based on a book by Donald Smith, this film outlines Long Lance's almost unbelievable life story.
