Native America Calling - Friday, September 12, 2025 – An epic drama and a true crime obsession brings two events with cultural ties to the screen

Two films take on real life accounts with strong Native cultural themes. One is a major Hollywood drama. The other is a smoldering independent documentary.

The Hulu documentary, “Blood & Myth”, follows Iñupiaq musician and writer James Dommek Jr.’s obsession with a bizarre 2012 string of violence. Dommek digs into the motivations of the fellow Alaska Native man acting on the influence of supernatural beings known as Iñukuns.

The Apple TV+ series, “Chief of War”, stars Jason Momoa in the epic account of a real-life Hawaiian leader working to unite warring factions against the threat of Western colonization.
