Nine Little Indians: Leonardo DiCaprio’s Documentary on the Abuse in Boarding Schools

Published

on

Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio is taking on a new role as a producer for the documentary ‘Nine Little Indians’, which delves into the harrowing history of abuse at a Native American boarding school in South Dakota. Directed by Shannon Kring, the film sheds light on the painful experiences of former students from St. Paul’s Indian Mission School and their ongoing quest for justice.

The documentary chronicles the journey of the Charbonneau sisters along with their peers, who have dedicated almost two decades to seeking accountability for the abuses they endured within the institution. Central to the film is their struggle to hold the Catholic Church accountable for the crimes committed behind the school’s doors.

Featuring poignant testimonies from survivors, former nuns, and an abbot responsible for overseeing priests accused of rape and murder, ‘Nine Little Indians’ seeks to unveil the troubling legacy of American Indian boarding schools. These institutions, established to impose Anglo-American culture on Native American children, are marked by a history of neglect, violence, and even death.

DiCaprio’s production company, Appian Way, is spearheading the project in collaboration with Red Queen Media and Terra Mater Studios. Notably, author and motivational speaker Tony Robbins has come on board as an executive producer.

Jennifer Davisson, President of Production at Appian Way, emphasized the film’s significance: “We are proud to collaborate with Tony Robbins and Shannon Kring on this essential project that exposes the shocking crimes committed at St. Paul’s Indian Mission School.”

Kring, who has collaborated closely with tribal communities, began this important project in 2016 following the discovery of skeletal remains at the school. She underscores the urgency of addressing this painful chapter in history: “It’s time for our nation to confront these tragedies and ensure they are never forgotten.”

Now in post-production, ‘Nine Little Indians’ aims to ignite conversations regarding the abuses faced by Indigenous children in these schools. Robbins, moved by the bravery of the survivors, envisions the documentary as a catalyst for action: “Their courage is extraordinary. My hope is that this film inspires others just as their strength has inspired me.”

The documentary is expected to premiere soon.
