'Tecumseh' is a 1972 East German western film directed by Hans Kratzert and starring Gojko Miti, Annekathrin Brger and Rolf Rmer. The film depicts the life of the Native American leader Tecumseh (17681813), including his role in Tecumseh's War and his later death in the War of 1812 while fighting with the British against the United States.
The film is a red western made by DEFA, the state-owned East German studio.Ginsberg & Mensch p. 38 It is part of a popular string of films starring the Yugoslav actor Gojko Miti which, in line with the policies of Communist East Germany, attempted to present a more critical, but also more realistic, view of American expansion to the West than was characterized by Hollywood. The film, along with others, was also made partly in response to the successful series of Karl May films made in West Germany.Bergfelder p. 203
