Although the synopsis sounded interesting and I believed the story held promise, it proved to be a rather bitter disappointment.

I recognized Adam Beach's name, having seen him in a couple of other Native American-themed stories. His earlier performances always seem forced and unnatural, and this time was no different. The other actors were less familiar to me, and even less believable in their roles. The story was disjointed at best. Some of the photography/cinematography was good - it was filmed in Coo's Bay, Oregon after all - and the music neither enhanced nor interfered with the production.

The young girl who Is, presumably, poised to become her generation's "watchman," is bullied relentlessly. The scenes that should help us to understand her destiny are shot in semi-darkness; they come across as inauthentic and unnecessarily vague.

I would truly love to give this a higher rating, but, alas, I cannot.

Such a beautiful film! Contains such a beautiful message and the scenery in the film is just stunning! This is a film enjoyed by all ages young and old.

Barri Chase put together a real winner with this family movie. The kids in this movie done a remarkable job conveying the story through emotion and great conscience. I love the Native American people and have always felt their view on life and our mother Earth is one that should be held in high respect and high esteem. This movie helps relay that very message and brings together a culmination of mixed cultures to help show we are all truly one race. Every Man, Women, Boy, & Girl will enjoy this story. Great work!!! & Thank You!!! - to everyone involved in its creation : )
