In 1877, Henry Ossian Flipper became the first Black man to ever graduate from West Point, a profound achievement in a deeply segregated America. But his promising career in the 10th Cavalry ("Buffalo Soldiers") was destroyed by a racist commanding officer who set him up to fail.

This documentary explores the hidden story of Flipper's unjust court-martial at Fort Davis. We uncover how he was acquitted of the main charge of embezzlement but convicted on a lesser charge of "conduct unbecoming," a punishment far more severe than any white officer received for worse crimes. Discover the story of the 117-year-long fight to clear his name, culminating in the first posthumous presidential pardon in U.S. history.
