      Cody B Wow what a fantastic movie. Gary Farmer is an incredible actor. Wonderful story that addresses issues facing Native Americans but also has humor. If this would have came out after dances with wolves more people would remember it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
