Digital Trends spoke with producers GrahamRoland and ChrisEyre spoke about their new show, DarkWinds.
Within the first ten minutes of AMC’s Dark Winds, there is an explosive highway robbery and a devastating double homicide in a motel room. Yet, these two incidents feel relatively small in stature compared to the bigger theme at play, the exploration of Navajo life in the American Southwest.
Shows like Reservation Dogs, Rutherford Falls, and Dark Winds provide the audience with the authenticity that they want and the realism that they want. That’s invoked and seen throughout the subtleties of the show because they’re not things that we need to objectify, as our characters don’t objectify. When Bernadette smudges herself after she leaves the Growing Thunder house, it’s almost an inside job. I think a non-native director might really treat as heroic the culture of it.
The murder almost serves as the key to opening the door to the rest of the show, an exploration of indigenous life. The audience gets to explore the Native American lifestyle, a lifestyle that some people know nothing about. How were you able to balance the crime storyline along with showcasing Native American culture?
Roland: Yeah. As a writer, I mean we probably could have done a couple more episodes, but I don’t think it was challenging in the sense that we ever felt like it wasn’t enough. You know, we essentially made, what Chris, a three-and-a-half-hour, four-hour movie? Roland: I don’t think there was ever any other guy. Right, Chris? We were all familiar with Zahn’s work. I don’t even think there was another name that ever came up.
