Anyone who watched the myriad Cavalry pictures and Little Big Horn epics should see this and find out how the whole sad story ends. Native Americans were forced to change their nomadic lifestyle to homestead farming. August Schellenberg is excellent here as Sitting Bull, who's determination and pride stokes the anger of the powers that be, including Aiden Quinn, a sympathetic but patronizing Senator who has taken it upon himself to lead the Indians on a path to "civilization". Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and Dances with Wolves are two movies that show the interactions between Americans and Native American tribes. There's a really great role for Adam Beach, as a young Souix doctor, who's father turned his back on the native ways and sent him to live amongst whites at a young age, stripping him of his identity. Starting off where most movies end, at a CGI created overhead shot of The Little Big Horn (!), this instead focuses on the final years of the Unions war against the Indian nations, culminating in the massacre at Wounded Knee. This film seems to have rubbed both history buffs and fans of the book the wrong way, but I thought it was a compelling, evocative film nevertheless. It's no secret that movies mix a lot of fiction with the facts. ![]() ![]() ![]() Emily held many state positions, retiring after a monumental career, then died mysteriously.Ībout Sue Ann Shenk: Announcer Sue Ann Shenk has always been passionate about storytelling.

The comic coda to said scene is a complete corker.Īll My Puny Sorrows focuses closely on the bond between the sisters – and as luck would have it, the two actors attended the same Toronto schools and knew each other as children.īut it also encompasses the ways that religion tries (and sometimes fails) to provide comfort in times of stress. Which brings us to the second unforgettable scene, a mere minute and a half long, in which Yoli has words with a stranger in the hospital’s parking garage, totally losing it, before running into her mother (Mare Winningham) inside the building. It’s a microcosm of drama, a little mini-movie in the midst of a larger story that is tinged with the dark hues of a family’s history with suicide, but also with lighter moments of grace and even humour. ![]() ![]() ![]() This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
