Overview: The story of Bass Reeves, the legendary lawman of the wild West, is brought to life. Reeves worked in the post-Reconstruction era as a federal peace officer in the Indian Territory, capturing over 3,000 of the most dangerous criminals without ever being wounded—and is believed to be the inspiration for The Lone Ranger.
How it feels: Earnest, tense, dark and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Justice, race, power, family
