@deadwronghistory1: Marlon Brando on Native American genocide. Connie Chung, 1990. In 1990, Connie Chung asked Marlon Brando why he didn’t just make his own movies. He exploded. Not about Hollywood politics or money or ego. About genocide. Specifically, the genocide of Native Americans — a subject Brando had been trying to bring to the screen for a decade. He’d written scripts. He’d gone to every network. He’d walked into studio after studio with the same pitch: let me tell the story of what this country actually did to its indigenous people. And every single time, he was told to go away. This wasn’t a late-career stunt. Brando had been putting his reputation on the line since 1973, when he sent Sacheen Littlefeather to refuse his Oscar for The Godfather. What makes this clip hit is the rage. He wasn’t performing. He was genuinely furious — at an industry that would greenlight any story except the one that mattered most. “They don’t want to hear that America followed a policy of genocide.” #marlonbrando #conniechung #nativeamerican #genocide #hollywood #History #deadwronghistory
