Danny Glover, Mykelti Williamson, Glynn Turman, Carl Lumbly and Michael Warren star in an adventure bringing to light that largely unknown story of the 9th and 19th U.S. Calvary Regiments. Nicknamed the Buffalo Soldiers, they fought fierce battles with distinct bravery during the post Civil War time period.

In this film, the Buffalo Soldiers hunt for Apache leader Victorio.  Despite the racism they encounter from other Americans and soldiers, the Buffalo Soldiers bravely proceed to capture the elusive Native-American chief Victorio.

The troopers’ daring hunt for Victorio frames this stirring tribute to the former slaves and other African-Americans of the 9th and 10th U. S. Cavalry Regiments.    Aten-hut!  Buffalo Soldiers are riding through town.

∙  Buffalo Soldiers really existed.  The term, “Buffalo Soldiers,” is commonly used to describe all African American soldiers who fought during the post Civil War period.  However, it originally applied to the African-American soldiers who were in the United States Army 9th and 10th Calvary units.

∙  “Buffalo Soldiers” were the first U.S. Army all-black regiments established by Congress.
