It didn't exactly make a huge impact during festival screenings last year, so the new Jessica Chastain-starring drama Woman Walks Ahead will hope to have more luck on general release. Check out the first trailer for the film below.
With Susanna White in the director's chair, Steven Knight has written the script, which is inspired by the story of Caroline Weldon, a woman from Brooklyn in the 19th century who moved to a Native American reservation in the Dakotas to help Sioux chieftain Sitting Bull fight to keep his people's land out of the grasp of the government. Despite vilification and mockery from the press, who labelled her "Sitting Bull's White Squaw", she kept up her campaign, writing constantly to the federal government and eventually living on the land for years with her son.
The trailer focuses more on Weldon's arrival (she's called Catherine here) and offer to paint Sitting Bull (Michael Greyeyes), before shifting into telling more of his story as he fights for his people's rights and their lands. Can it escape the pitfalls of noble period pieces?
Sam Rockwell, Ciarán Hinds and Michael Nouri are also among the ensemble, and the film will be out in America on 29 June, and available to DirecTV customers from 31 May. It has yet to lock down a UK date.
