Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tost, a poet and 'Damnation' showrunner, wrote this as a thesis on American violence—then made it funny. Halsey fought for the Mandy role after reading the script in one night.
The Ghost Shirt was a real 1890 Wounded Knee artifact believed to protect wearers from bullets; its actual 1891 disappearance remains unsolved. The film's fictional theft deliberately mirrors how museums still hoard indigenous remains.
