Squanto: A Warrior's Tale
In the 17th century, the Native American Squanto roams the New World freely until sailors seize him and carry him to England. A monk named Brother Daniel teaches him the social codes of his captors, but many Englishmen prove less kind. Reluctantly, Squanto becomes the unwilling centerpiece of performances that showcase his fighting prowess, until he engineers a return trip to America. He discovers his homeland has changed forever, and he must forge a new path for his people.

Not as wholesome or empowering as I think Disney wanted it to be, but there is at least some warmth to the message that it portrays. It's based on the real life Squanto, though apparently takes a load of liberties with his story. I'd expect nothing less truth be told, the point of a film - in my opinion, at least - is to make a good film - therefore truth, which most of the time is more dull, takes a backseat. I'm not saying it's impossible to mix accuracy and entertainment, but I never expect both myself. Documentaries are for accuracy, after all. Cast-wise, I can't say any of them properly stand out. Adam Beach (Squanto) and Mandy Patinkin (Daniel) would be my picks, while Michael Gambon (George) is fairly good I guess. Like most other areas of the film, it is quite average. I didn't find <em>'Squanto: A Warrior’s Tale'</em> slow paced and I do appreciate the message, it's just not crafted together all that well.
