Movie Review: What I needed to hear.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a black american, but when I was at 11 or 12 years old, my wonderful father told me that his grandmother on his father's side was Half-Cherokee Indian. After doing some reading and research on American Indians, I have become more proud of my Cherokee Indian heritage than my so called African heritage(due to the fact Indians have suffered the worst oppression in our country and for a black man to embrace or find his ancestry other than African is still considered wrong in the black community). Even by the dvd's admittance, it is the black community as a whole frowns on those blacks who embrace their mixed blood ancestry. I for one am proud of all my ancestry, which Cherokee Indian and black on my father's side and white, Asian Indian and black on my mother's side. I don't buy this one drop black blood rule and I personally would like to thank the creators of this dvd as well as Tiger Woods for standing up against the status quo in the black community. I am planning on to find my cherokee heritage with my father, when I go home on leave and hope to my Great Grandmother's kin among the Cherokee Nation.
