Harsh Truths
Rating: 9/10
This movie really is not a view of life in boarding schools, per se. I
don't believe it was intended to be. It is a metaphor for the effects
still felt today by nearly all Native Americans here in the U.S. The
movie "is" a period place. All of the issues that the story touches
base on are those that Natives all over Indian Country are dealing with
today. It is not the direct reflection of one single reason why Natives
today face the afflictions of poverty, alcoholism, abuse, unemployment,
illiteracy, and loss of identity as a culture, but the culmination of
many. Forced attendance into an institution specifically designed to
strip away everything it means to be "Indian" just so happens to be the
primary area of focus in this film. The sub-plots add depth to the
characters as well as much needed comic relief. Even though this film
is classified as a drama, it should be shown in every history class
across the United States, right after the lesson on the first
"Thanksgiving".
