From the Case - " Flicker Ally, Lobster Films, and the Blackhawk Films Collection, proudly present a brand-new Flicker Fusion Blu-ray Disc Edition of The Silent Enemy (1930). Directed by H.Ph. Carver and filmed in the Canadian Northwest, the portrait of native American Life follows the Chippewa tribe in distress as they travel North when food is scarce just before the onset of winter. As the tribe battles hunger, however, conditions only become more desperate after the death of their leader, Chief Chetoga. A new Chief must now be chosen without delay in order to secure food and safety for the tribe."
From the Case - "Based on detailed accounts of French missionaries, The Silent Enemy, a hybrid of fictional melodarama and ethnographic film technique, was made in collaboration with Native American actors with the goal of depicting the authentic way of life of the Ojibway indigenous tribe before the arrival of European settlers. In his prologue to the film, Chief Chauncey Yellow Robe, a noted and respectable Sioux, asks audiences to view the performers in the film not as actors, but as people revisiting - or reenacting - their heritage and traditions."
