Review of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (2007) by Katherine P — 03 Jun 2012

In this highly-produced saga of the American Indian (based on the novel by Dee Brown), the viewer is taken on a historical journey which explores the issue of identity and culture. Directed with stunning visuals and an attention to detail, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is an emotional and important watch.

Though it is made-for-television, Simoneau is careful to include action sequences throughout and the message is one that young and old can understand. The cast is comprised of a dedicated blend of actors who add to the authenticity of the story.

This is a must-see for those curious about history or simply in the mood for drama. A powerful docudrama that will resonate in our hearts.
