How did I miss this GEM???


It is such a rare occurrence for me to come across something so huge that I totally missed and never FOUND until years later. How does this happen?

Man, I enjoyed this Mini Series. I am a real lover of GOOD sweeping family epics like many of Wilbur Smith's novels. Only a scant few made it into films.


I love long lost family members being reunited. I can put up with the deaths of others. It is part of the story. I do like the choice for the surviving members. So well done in every way.

As far as a political statement, I try to not get TOO involved. There are always faults on both sides. But its not a huge news flash to find out more of how badly Native Americans were efed over and lied to.

Not all amends have been made to date. they never will be. But thankfully there has been SOME progress.

Compelling script...uneven but overall good acting. Tom Berenger was terrible. I found all four actors who played Jake and Thunder Heart Woman to be fantastic.

Sorry I am not a better reviewer.
