Sixty years before BLACK ROBE and DANCES WITH WOLVES there was THE SILENT ENEMY! An exciting and magical reconstruction of Ojibway Indian life in the time before the white man had settled the Hudson Bay region, THE SILENT ENEMY is based on a 72-volume history of New France written by Jesuit missionaries. The “enemy” is hunger that threatens the tribe as it desperately tracks and hunts the caribou herds. The thunderous caribou stampede provides an absolutely thrilling finale.



Magnificently filmed on location, THE SILENT ENEMY boasted an all-Indian cast with a compelling sound prologue by one of the stars, Chief Yellow Robe: “This is the story of my people… When you look at this picture, therefore, look not upon us as actors. We are Indians living once more our old life. Soon we will be gone. Your civilization will destroy us. But by your magic we will live forever.” The critics acclaimed the film a masterpiece on its original release and it remains so today. Milestone restored the original 35mm nitrate material for this release, preserving the magnificent tints of the 1930 film.



“A PRICELESS TREASURE… The caribou scene is a sequence of such dimensions… that it stuns the audience with the force of a snowstorm.” — Kenneth Brownlow, THE WAR, THE WEST AND THE WILDERNESS



“STIRRING… There are wondrously beautiful scenes of the wilds… UNFORGETTABLE!” — The New York Times
