Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (2007)

The story of the wrongs committed against the Sioux Indians by the American government from The Battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876 to Wounded Knee in 1890. Told through the stories of several real life figures including an Indian doctor (Adam Beach) a U.S. Senator (Aiden Quinn) and Chief Sitting Bull (August Schellenberg). Tragic tale delivered with some poignancy. Also featuring Anna Paquin and then soon to be presidential aspirant Fred Thompson in a cameo role as President Ulysses S. Grant. Grade: B+
