JSB Video’s Documentary “The Osage Reign Of Terror: The Untold Legal History” Makes A Resounding Impact At Grand Opening

In a remarkable collaboration with the Historical Society of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, JSB Video has skillfully crafted “The Osage Reign of Terror: The Untold Legal History,” a documentary that became the centerpiece at the grand opening of a museum exhibit last December. This project was an intricate journey into a largely untold chapter of American history, focusing on the Osage Nation’s plight in the 1920s.

The challenge for JSB Video was to create a documentary that was both historically accurate and engaging, using primarily archival media and newspaper articles. The team embarked on an extensive research process, sifting through historical documents to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the narrative. This approach required a meticulous attention to detail, piecing together the story from fragments of the past.

Jordan Scott Berns, the producer at JSB Video, reflected on the project’s impact:

“Before starting this project, I was largely ignorant of this part of American history. It’s been an eye-opening experience, and I feel deeply honored to have been trusted with crafting this narrative. Working closely with Osage advisors and legal experts not only enriched our understanding but also added a layer of authenticity that was crucial for this documentary.”

Collaborating with Osage advisors and legal historians was a key element in the documentary’s development. Their insights ensured the film accurately and respectfully represented the Osage perspective, particularly in the depiction of the complex legal proceedings and the cultural impact of the events.

Creating a documentary for a museum setting, especially one reliant on archival footage and documents, presented unique challenges. The narrative had to be compelling, weaving together historical facts with storytelling elements that would engage a diverse museum audience. JSB Video’s creative team rose to this challenge, producing a documentary that not only informs but also deeply resonates with viewers.

 

The documentary’s success at the museum exhibit’s grand opening is a testament to JSB Video’s dedication to producing high-quality historical documentaries. “The Osage Reign of Terror: The Untold Legal History” serves not just as an educational piece but as a tribute to the Osage Nation’s history and resilience.
