Was he Black man, White man, or Indigenous Chief? This film looks at a legendary and fascinating impostor, Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance.

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.
