Amazon.com:
Tough but moving, Thunderheart is an unusual story about an arrogant FBI agent (Val Kilmer) who participates in a federal investigation of a murder on an Oglala Sioux reservation. Kilmer's character is part Sioux himself, a detail that leaves him cold as he sets about pushing his way through the community to find facts on the case. In time, however, he begins to feel an ethnic tug and grows increasingly sympathetic to the locals and hostile toward his fellow G-men, much to the dismay of his agency mentor (Sam Shepard). The script is based on real events that occurred on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975 in South Dakota (involving an armed standoff between Indian activists and the FBI, an event that prompted Thunderheart director Michael Apted to make a companion documentary, Incident at Oglala). The conclusion of Thunderheart feels like politically charged whimsy, but the real strength of the film is Kilmer's outstanding performance as a man in transformation. Apted's clear-eyed depiction of the Sioux's spiritual and cultural continuity with the past has none of the cloying romanticism of other films about Indians. Produced by Robert De Niro. --Tom Keogh

- CD for a Friend
This seller kept me informed of where the CD was during the shipping process. The item was received in a timely manner. Unfortunately the CD case was damaged upon arrival. However, the CD itself was in excellent condition as posted by the seller. My friend is enjoying the CD. I would buy from this seller in future.

- On the rez, FBI means a whole lot different things than it does on the outside
Full Blood Indian, just for one. "Thunderheart" was released in 1992 and based on several incidents on reservations.

FBI Agent Ray Levoi (Kilmer) was called in to the Oglala Sioux Reservation on special assignment because he's part Sioux Indian himself and the Bureau figured he'd fit in. No further from the truth, Ray quickly learns there's a big difference between a city Indian and a rez one -- and the rez is definitely a whole different world.

The issue is civil war on the Sioux Reservation. A fight's been brewing the last 100 years over traditional Indians versus US Government supporting Indians. When Levoi first arrives, he believes the troublemakers are the traditionals who are deemed rebels by his bosses at the FBI, but as he delves deeper into Sioux culture and his own past, he begins to realize the issues are far deeper than he ever imagined.

Along the way, he ... Read More
