Sitting Bull: A Stone in My Heart
Award-winning documentary, Sitting Bull: A Stone in My Heart, makes extensive use of Sitting Bull’s own words, giving the viewer an intimate portrait of one of America’s legendary figures in all his complexities as a leader of the great Sioux Nation: warrior, spiritual leader and skilled diplomat. Sitting Bull’s words, as portrayed by Adam Fortunate Eagle, dominate this story. Augmented by a narrator’s historical perspective, over six-hundred historical photographs and images, and a compelling original music score, the film brings to life the little-known human side of Sitting Bull as well as the story of a great man’s struggle to maintain his people’s way of life against an ever-expanding westward movement of white settlers. It is a powerful cinematic journey into the life and spirit of a legendary figure of whom people have often heard but don’t really know.

Such a frustrating disappointment
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
