Killers of the Flower Moon Trailer
The official trailer is yet to be released, the below is a concept video that helps us what we can expect in the movie. The movie is a gripping tale of how the greed over oil and money transformed men. It is a story of how the natives continued to suffer as recent as the 20th century. An eye opener for all of us and a movie which was long overdue. The cries for help by the natives went unanswered for several years. Even though the duration is said to be 4 years, the actual duration went on for more than a decade during which hundreds were murdered in the Osage County.
