Details

James Earl Jones narrates this examination of the historical relationship between American Indians and African-Americans, who often merged their cultures to work and live together while mainstream white society shunned them. Through illuminating anecdotes and interviews, descendants of fused black and Indian families discuss the complications of their mixed heritage and how their culture was largely erased on official documents.

Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Kenneth Eagle Spirit This is a very well done and very thought provoking documentary. Obviously well thought out, the reasoning and history that it includes are a true insight into one of those "hidden" spots of U.S. history. Bluntly, given my own ethnic heritage, I had some preconceived ideas that bordered on the romantic. This film added depth to my views. It actually helped me access a part of my own past. That has to be a plus for any person in watching any film, documentary or otherwise. I own a couple of the Rich-Heape Film productions and this is, I think, one of their best. Kudos to Rich-Heape Films for making a film that brings to life the words of Black Elk (Oglala Sioux) who said: "With all beings and all things we shall be as relatives."
