Synopsis
The Bygone (2019) is an American neo-Western with a criminal undertow that you can watch online on iFILM. A young South Dakota rancher strikes up a bond with a Lakota woman from the nearby reservation. Then, without warning, she vanishes.
The search pulls him into a world he would rather not know: a place where missing Native women have become routine, a tragedy everyone has learned to look past. The deeper he digs, the more his own family's history twists together with hers. Brothers Graham and Parker Phillips direct, with Graham Phillips also taking the lead role. The frame fills with bleached prairie, rusting pickups and long silences between the few words anyone says.
This is a quiet, angry film about something America prefers to ignore — vanished Indigenous women whom no one bothers to look for. No shootouts, no heroics, just an uncomfortable truth left sitting in the open. It will resonate with anyone drawn to Wind River and slow heartland dramas. Stream The Bygone (2019) online on iFILM.
