Unveiling the Haunting True Story of 'Killers of the Flower Moon'

"Killers of the Flower Moon," directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, and Robert De Niro, is based on a true story of murders in 1920s Oklahoma. The film follows the murders of several Indigenous people after oil was discovered on the Osage Nation's land. The story revolves around Ernest Burkhart and his wife Mollie, who were connected to the crimes. The Osage people, considered the wealthiest per capita in the world, were victims of a "Reign of Terror" orchestrated by white guardians appointed by the government. Burkhart was sentenced to life in prison, while Mollie divorced him and later remarried. The film sheds light on this dark chapter in history and the impact it had on the Osage community.
