Inspired by Dee Brown's acclaimed bestseller, the HBO Films event begins powerfully with the Sioux triumph over General Custer at Little Big Horn. The action centers on the struggles of three characters: Charles Eastman (Adam Beach, FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS), a young, Dartmouth-educated Sioux doctor; Sitting Bull (August Schellenberg, THE NEW WORLD), the proud Lakota chief who refuses to submit to U.S. government policies designed to strip his people of their identity, dignity and sacred land; and Senator Henry Dawes (Aidan Quinn, EMPIRE FALLS), one of the men responsible for the government policy on Indian affairs. While Eastman and schoolteacher Elaine Goodale (Anna Paquin, X-MEN: THE LAST STAND), work to improve life for the Sioux on the reservation, Senator Dawes lobbies President Grant for kinder Indian treatment. Epic in scope, BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE is a new Western classic called "...insightful...deeply affecting...visually striking" by The Washington Post. DVD Features:
Audio Commentary
Featurette

Summary: i wish it wasn't so
Comment: This movie is well made and extremely sad. I expected outright anti-white bias and distortion, but I think the truth itself is so bad that the movie makers probably realized there was no need. It is much more effective to portray Indians as real human beings with faults rather than as the perfect warriors, environmentalists, sages, etc. Recent movies have erred in this regard as well as showing whites as the perfect villains, haters, baby-killers, morons, etc rather than real human beings with faults. This movie got it right. I was shocked when the American commander sitting with Sitting Bull forcefully brought up Sioux atrocities against other Indians and Sitting Bull had no answer. Excellent movie.

Summary: The cast makes up for the storytelling
Comment: I admit to being a bit disappointed in the way the story is told but the cast is amazing and well worth watching. I also admit that I am a big fan of Adam Beach but all the actors are wonderful both native and non native.
The important issue is that the story is being told and maybe more people will begin to understand why the U.S. owes Native Americans much more than they have given up until now. Maybe our new president, after he tackles the world issues, will actually consider the plight of the Native American and the despicable conditions on some of the reservations. He is the only major politician to mention Native Americans in his speeches. I hope he remembers them now that he is in office.

Summary: Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee
Comment: Adam Beach does and Oscar winning job in his role of Charles Eastman. The film is shown true to the historical facts and is told form the eyes of the Native Americans, no white wash here as the US government would have like it to have been. A MUST SEE movie for all Americans be they white, black , red or yellow!

Summary: Who is the enemy??
Comment: Looking at Bury my heart at Wounded knee just make us think that it is often impossible to define who is the enemy? General Custer did right in defending the americans farmers newly arrived in the west !! But the indians were defending ther own land (they were there for 10000 years!!!). For americans, iran is evil and for iranians USA is the great evil??? Who is right??? You can continue the list if you want. Good luck, it will take you 10000 pages of text in small caracter...
