In John Ferry's captivating documentary the viewer is yanked head and heart...this is the Sitting Bull few people know.   - Carole Levine (Native Vue, Scene 4 Magazine)

 

Unlike mythic portrayals of Sitting Bull, the film achieves an even-handed, and consequently more trustworthy, approach to his battles with the white man.  -Hanna Tennant-Moore, Santa Barbara Independent

 

A wonderful job in bringing to life Sitting Bull's world...what a relief to see him presented as a human being rather than a stiff cardboard cutout. - Eileen Pollack, Author, Woman Walking Ahead, Paradise New York, The Rabbi in the Attic.

Riveting oral-historical documentary - VueTV

A powerful journey into the life and spirit of a legendary figure whom people have often heard of but don’t really know. - Jaime Snyder, Producer, Director, Writer and Singer-Songwriter
