7/10
Well dramatized film!

Warning: Spoilers
As with any Native film out there, I liked this one. Viewers have to feel for the main character who probably had a really hard childhood since he was taken away from his family at the tender age of 3! That alone would make anyone angry, especially for Native kids since many of them were stripped away from their families at such young ages too when they were forced to attend those damned residential schools! Then when he finally goes home to his roots, things don't get any better since he only finds his family in more predicaments. The guy is so confused that he doesn't know what to do! This really is a sad story, especially towards the end when the protagonist discovers that someone killed his father! Talk about trauma! To not even know who one's own family is through childhood before seeking out who their family as an adult, only to find out that their father has been murdered! No one could ever survive that! Anyways, this is still a good film which is why it deserves a 7.
