Progressive
Primary
The film receives a -1 (Left-Leaning) rating because its central narrative critiques colonial expansion and champions indigenous resistance against historical injustice, aligning with progressive values.
The movie features a diverse cast appropriate to its historical subject matter, with Native American actors in central roles, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters.
