BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE: This film is about a Massacre of Indians at Wounded Knee, how it happened and what led up to this shameful episode in our history. This well made drama was painful watch as the saga reveals stages of one of the most hideous dealings with the American Indian and the truthful documentation of American Indian History. After the battle at Little Big Horn where Custers' folly makes a sensitive situation that required delicate negotiations impossible for all parties involved.. Treaty after treaty had been broken and a young Sioux doctor (Adam Beach) is forced to bear witness to the unfair treatment and tragedies experienced by his people. The wonderful acting, stunning scenery, wardrobe and characters make you feel the grit and the hardships of the old west. Great performances and the old photos that periodically move across the screen bring an added heart-wrenching portrayal to the viewer of a proud people who were reduced to desperation. The film stars Aidan Quinn, Adam Beach, Anna Paquin (True Blood), and August Schellenberg as Sitting Bull. The film debuted on the HBO television network Sunday, May 27, 2007. While the film covers only the last two chapters of Brown¿s book, it received many Emmy nominations and went on to win one for Best Movie made for Television. This movie earns a rating of 5.0 STARS IMHO.

4/10Disappointing
I guess it's well done but it's boring mostly because the actors aren't that great. I didn't care about any of the characters, and that's saying something coming from me... considering the subject matter. maybe it's not the actors but the way it is all shot and edited. It's not quite on the same level as the other HBO shows.
