Someone Call an Angel Down
In Minnesota, modernized Native American couple Georgina Lightning (as Rain) and Adam Beach (as John “Johnny” Goodfeather) are troubled by her nightmarish visions. With help from visiting geologist Bradley Cooper (as Luke Patterson), they uncover some mysterious events. “Older Than America” is an issue-oriented film, it explores / exposes the United States government’s policy of taking Native American children away from families and reservations in order to assimilate.The emphasis is on making these children Christian (using abominable force). Writer/director Lightning’s topic is commendable, but the use of the supernatural does not work; that even Mr. Cooper, in town to investigate an earthquake, has visions perpetuates myths of different color. This can work well in drama, just not this time. The song played over the end credits, “Someone Call an Angel Down” written and performed by Derek Miller, provides a haunting coda.
***** Older Than America (3/8/08) Georgina Lightning ~ Georgina Lightning, Adam Beach, Bradley Cooper, Tantoo Cardinal
AN HONEST LOOK @ ATROCITIES AGAINST NATIVE AMERICANS!
When I arrived in Riverside, Ca. In 1970 I was appalled to learn that young Native Americans were forced to live @ a boarding school there! Away from their families, these children attended Sheridan Indian School without the benefit of their Native language OR cultural teaching! This film portrayal is a small glimpse into this injustice & the impact it had on innocent victims of our government’s ignorance! Watch this if you can stomach the TRUTH!
