Add a CommentExcellent movie...the soundtrack...the message...very compelling!
Fantastic movie, incredible music!
super movie
B+ dvd
As relevant today as when it was first released, this movie continues to haunt audiences. The soundtrack is unusually moving. Watching the documentary I couldn't help but wonder about the long-term impact this experience had on the Waunana people.
