The Most Historically Accurate Hollywood Films

Black Robe

Black Robe follows the journey of a Jesuit priest in the 1600s attempting to convert a tribe of Native Americans in the Huron settlements. The film is praised for its respectful representation of indigenous people and features dialogue from the Cree, Mohawk, and Algonquin languages. Director Bruce Beresford made it his goal to represent the people and events as accurately as possible after he read the book by the same name by Brian Moore.
