Review of The Donner Party (2009) by Don S — 03 Aug 2017
A poor example of movie-making. Horrible acting portraying what can only be guesswork (for obvious reasons) about what happened on this part of the expedition. Cross-country travelers in search of the California Dream are led astray and stuck in the Sierra Nevada mountains during the winter.
A small party from the group of 82, calling themselves Forlorn Hope, set out to make it on their own and send back help for the others. Food runs out quickly and there is no game to be had. Survival takes a turn to the morbid.
