Awesome and inspiring documentary!
Total awesome, informative, thought provoking, and inspirational! I wish you had it in DVD format, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Good balanced view of the subject.
Curtis produced a twenty volume photographic record of Native Americans that was both art and a record of a vanishing people. This documentary tells the story of his life and how he went about taking these wonderful pictures. There is also commentary by Native Americans on the work...both positive and highly critical. This balanced video is well worth seeing. It is actually streaming on netflix for free as of Feb 2013. I definitely want to find access to these photos to get a bigger view of Curtis' works.
Enjoyed it.
Without Edward Curtis taking pictures a lot would have been lost about the Indians. I can't imagine living in those times and being an Indian who lived off the land and had strangers coming in killing off their food supply and not to mention killing them off! To bad the invaders of THEIR land couldn't see the good in them and worked with them, not against them. History of these great people, how they lived, died and survived should never be forgotten.
