We Were Children Year: 2012 Country: Canada Actors and Actresses: Tyrone Brooks, Brun Montour, Shawney Moar, Ramsey Bruce, Kohl Bohemier, Rivers Thomas, Carlos Swampy, Alicia Hamelin, Taya Ayotte Bourns, Rene Batson, Jade Hamelin Review: For over 130 years till 1996, more than 100,000 of Canada's First Nations children were legally required to attend government-funded schools run by various Christian faiths. There were 80 of these 'residential schools' across the country. Most children were sent to faraway schools that separated them from their families and traditional land. These children endured brutality, physical hardship, mental degradation, and the complete erasure of their culture. The schools were part of a wider program of assimilation designed to integrate the native population into 'Canadian society.' These schools were established with the express purpose 'To kill the Indian in the child.' Told through their own voices, 'We Were Children' is the shocking true story of two such children: Glen Anaquod and Lyna Hart. - IMDb Movie added at: 30.01.2023 |

A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries Year: 1998 Country: France, United Kingdom, USA Actors and Actresses: Samuel Gruen, Luisa Conlon, Anthony Decadi, Leelee Sobieski Review: This fictionalized story, based on the family life of writer James Jones, is an emotionless slice-of-life story. Jones here is portrayed as Bill Willis (Kris Kristofferson), a former war hero and now successful author who obviously drinks too much and is starting to experience health problems. Living in France with his wife (Barbara Hershey), daughter (Leelee Sobieski), and an adopted son (Jesse Bradford), the family travels an unconventional road that leaves all of them as outsiders to others. Preaching a sexual freedom, his daughter's sexual acceptance begins at an early age and betrays her when the family moves to Hanover in America. Her sexuality is definitely not the normal for American teens and gives her a bad reputation and outcasts her. Meanwhile her brooding brother struggles with his own inner turmoils about his early desertion in life. Only within the tight knit confines of his family is he comfortable to even speak. - John Sacksteder, IMDb Movie added at: 23.01.2023 |
