Rocks with Wings (2001)
One of the most moving and powerful documentaries I've seen..
I had the pleasure of seeing 'Rocks With Wings' documentary on PBS
sometime back and have never forgotten it. It was one of the most moving and
wonderfully produced documentaries I have ever seen. I have given this film much thought and what makes it so impressive to me is that it address many issues at the same time and does it in a very entertaining and thoughtful way. Anytime a director can address the issues of race relations, class, and the spirit of a sports team that well, I say hats off to them. Furtermore, this film had some of the best game sequences I have ever seen. I found myself yelling and rooting for the Lady Chieftens with the same enthusiasm I have for the Carolina Tarheels. This movie is a must see for the documentary lover and for anyone interested in issues facing Native Americans and/or the role of sports in shaping young people. I can't say enough about this film.
