MEDORA, N.D. The Marquis de Mores and his beautiful new bride Medora step off the train into 1883 Dakota Territory with dreams of building a new home, a new town, and a meat-packing empire the like of which has never been seen before. Little did they know the odds they would face: prejudice and persecution from local ranchers; sabotage from beef trusts in the bigger cities; violent attacks from local roughnecks bent on killing them or driving them from Dakota Territory once and for all. Based on the incredible true story.

Join us in Medora, ND for the premiere of Medora: Empress of the Badlands, directed by Daniel Bielinski and produced by Canticle Productions. Be among the first to see the film and spend an evening with the stars.
