"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" (2007) NR

A dark chapter of U.S. history comes to light in this epic saga of the U.S. government's extermination of the American Indians. Beginning after the Sioux victory at Little Big Horn, the film traces the stories of three men: a Sioux doctor (Adam Beach), a lobbying senator (Aidan Quinn) and the Lakota hero Sitting Bull (August Schellenberg). The acclaimed cast also features Anna Paquin and Fred Dalton Thompson as Ulysses S. Grant.

What a truly wonderful, gripping movie. It really opens yours eyes to how the American Indians were treated. It is very sad.

"Miracle at Midnight" (1998) NR

A valiant Danish doctor (Sam Waterston) and his family struggle against Nazi oppression and try to help their Jewish countrymen survive the Holocaust by escaping across the Baltic Sea to neutral Sweden. Co-starring Mia Farrow, this taut and suspenseful movie originally aired on television's "The Wonderful World of Disney."

I am drawn and intrigued by any type of movie that is about the Holocaust. Every movie of this type is an eye opener and gives more insights into the compassion of others to help the Jews. This movie was well done.
