Staying Power
25 October 2014 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Drunktown's Finest is grounded with wisdom, great heart and understanding. Director Freeland has done a remarkable job of creating a film that feels genuine. The actors carry honest portrayals throughout. I was made to feel uncomfortable in some instances,and for good reason. I learned something. The break-away from earth-bound tradition in native culture has consequences. The Medicine Man and his wife carry the universe in the palm of their hand. "A strong warrior knows when to retreat" cautions the Medicine Man. Retreating from the materialistic, profit-driven world that engulfs them, has its own strength, balance and insights. Don't miss this film.
