Murphy And The Indian | Jim Sheridan

[Cremildo]

Six-time Oscar-nominated Irish director Jim Sheridan is writing and will direct Murphy And The Indian, the true story of Standing Bear, a Native American and civil rights leader who won a landmark 1879 legal case.

Standing Bear argued in the historic case that Native Americans are “persons within the meaning of the law”. The Ponca Chief was recently honoured with a statue in the US Capitol.

The project has received development financing of €22,500 from Screen Ireland in its latest round of funding decisions.

Sheridan’s Hell’s Kitchen is producing the project and also received Screen Ireland backing for three further Sheridan projects. [SOURCE]

H-Block sounded particularly promising. Not a peep since 2017, when it was indefinitely postponed.
