UPCOMING FILM: The Contested Plains

A Docudrama

The Contested Plains, a film produced by Fall River Productions and the White Deer Land Museum Foundation, recounts the story of John and Lydia German who left Georgia with their seven children in 1870 headed for a better home in the West. The family collided with a Cheyenne raiding party, warriors who were survivors of the Sand Creek Massacre and the attack at the Washita, with tragic results. The encounter ended with the massacre of the German family in Westerns Kansas, all but four of the daughters. The search for the four captive girls grabbed headlines throughout the nation and made household names of Native leaders and military officers. The contested plains portrays the story of the captives and the journey to their recovery, two of which were in Gray County Texas just south of Pampa.
