This is nominally the story of a young man whose parents are killed by renegade members of a native people on the American frontier during the years of the Civil War.
It is in fact one of the best written stories ever produced for television, or any other media for that matter.
The yarn avoids all clichés and is one of the most moving meditations on the crisis of human conscience, of violence and evil that crosses all boundaries, and a resolution in the eyes of God however we conceive him to be.
Kudos to everyone involved in the production, including John Payne, the supporting cast of actors, the producer, director, music supervisor, et al, and especially the writer, John Tucker Battle.
Do not miss this brief but compelling film. It will remain poignantly in your memory for days, months, even years after you see it.
