Either way, we want a film focused solely on the Choctaw hunting vampires - who else? 🙋🏾‍♀️

The BRUTAL reality: By the time #Sinners takes place, the Choctaw Nation had long gone through their own trail of tears through the Indian Removal Act of 1830 being forcibly displaced from Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana to “Indian Territory” or modern-day Oklahoma.

APNewsAlert: THE HAGUE (AP) — Top UN court dismisses Sudanese genocide case against UAE.

Comment and let us know if you knew this and add your favorite Star Wars film and/or show.
