COMMUNITY REVIEWS

I'd been... submitted by lekendrick on January 8, 2012, 4:41am surprised by the resentments felt a character actor like john wayne, but factor charity treatment liken rebel w/o cause & it meshes memory of the details brando's oddness academy awards is further flushed out events little big horn unfold all together heart warming tales involved! I've no idea why, but it's distance ruling "class" from population wording such as first peoples or the like falls bit flat as to what's be said of!

Illuminating submitted by mowjac on August 26, 2018, 8:18pm Great expansive view of Native peoples in film, how they feel about it and how to think critically about their portrayals and exclusion. As a side note to the previous review, this is a Canadian documentary and there the correct term for the Native peoples of North America is First Nations .
