From director SUSANNA WHITE (Our Kind of Traitor) and STEVEN KNIGHT (Oscar-nominated writer of Dirty Pretty Things and Eastern Promises) comes the true story of Catherine Weldon, an artist who, in 1889, traveled from New York City to the Dakota Territory to meet Hunkpapa Lakota legend Sitting Bull. There she becomes an advocate for Native American rights and Sitting Bull's confidante. Her place among the Lakota people confirmed, she clashes with the American frontier's lawless racism. Starring JESSICA CHASTAIN, MICHAEL GREYEYES, and SAM ROCKWELL, Woman Walks Ahead is a moving and romantic reclamation of the West, through the eyes of a determined woman demanding respect and a historic leader struggling with white encroachment.
