DreamKeeper (TV Movie 2003)

DreamKeeper: Directed by Steve Barron. With August Schellenberg, Eddie Spears, Gary Farmer, John Trudell. The legends of the Native American nations come to life in this epic new miniseries, as two generations–a century-old storyteller and his grandson, a troubled 17-year-old boy–embark on a cross-country journey toward self-discovery.

“I was frankly shocked to see something this good on commercial TV. A great story, great acting, great cinematography, and so true in every detail. How it ever got by the ABC execs Iu0026#39;ll never know, since itu0026#39;s just miles ahead of the usual garbage they present. Of course it tanked in the ratings, but I donu0026#39;t think it was promoted too well. The one gripe I had was the constant and lengthy commercial breaks that thoroughly broke up the flow (well, I guess thatu0026#39;s how they paid for it…). How about PBS picking up the actors, crew, consultants and writers for a series? Yoohoo, Ken Burns where are you??”
