"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.
