November 30 Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) 
In the 1920s, innocent members of the Osage tribe are victims of a series of unusual, inexplicable murders. Though Native Americans are relegated to the margins of society, the case captures the attention of the FBI, which launches a large-scale investigation under the guidance of its young, new leader, J. Edgar Hoover.
