Review of Thunderheart (1992) by Joe Holleman for St. Louis Post-Dispatch — 14 Aug 2000

This directness, however, contrasts with an over-complicated script by John Fusco, who sets the action in the aftermath of the 1975 battle at Wounded Knee and the controversial arrest of American Indian Movement leader Leonard Peltier, accused of killing two FBI agents.
