AMC+'s "Lakota Nation vs. United States" landed two of the top awards on Thursday at the Documentary Emmys, including best doc and directing (Jesse Short Bull and Laura Tomaselli).
Netflix’s wins included two for “World War II: From the Front Lines,” as well as for “Victim/Suspect,” “American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing,” “Big Vape: The Rise and Fall of Juul” and “Poisoned: The Dirty Truth About Your Food.” The 45th annual News & Documentary Emmys, administered by the New York-based National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, took place over two nights (Wednesday, Sept. 25 and Thursday, Sept. 26) at New York’s Palladium Times Square. Divided into three sections: extermination, assimilation and reparations, the two-hour docu is told from the point of the Lakota people and recounts how the Black Hills were taken in violation of various treaty agreements while the Indigenous community who lived there was simultaneously exploited and displaced.
