Cary Elwes starred in Saw, so it's no surprise that his Watchlist includes a little horror. What is the "Stranger Things" star watching?

Mary Crow Dog: The years passed as they tried to turn us from Lakota to white. They took away our langauge and our history, and our memories grew dim. They replaced the the comfort and joy of our religion with the thunder and agony of theirs. They took away our souls every day and our pitctures once a year. I don't have any of the pictures...[talking about boarding school]

After watching this film I really felt for what Mary Crow Dog had to go through in her life before she became part of AIM. The American Indian Movement put pride back into the hearts of the all the warriors and youngsters, including Mary. Despite all her hardships, she was a true survivor partly because of AIM but also because she had the sheer willingness to overcome everything that was put in her plate.
However ........ anyways........... that's why I gave this film such a high rating. The whole story really came straight from her heart and the way she narrated it gave the film more life and atmosphere.
