I don't know what this ridiculous tagline on the poster for Navajo is supposed to be about with this boy and his eyes on my heart, but this is a really lovely movie. It begins a little dry and boring, but by the end of the film (which is no more than 70 minutes long), I was seriously worried about the characters, and the film took a dangerous, exciting turn. Even more notable is the absolutely gorgeous cinematography.
Oh, I have read in several places that this is a documentary. It absolutely is not. It's not even "documentary-style". This is a narrative feature about a young Navajo boy learning to deal with loss, learning to speak with his ancestors, and learning compassion.
I watched this movie via the Cave of Forgotten Films.
