Buffalo Dreams (2005 TV Movie)
8/10
Surprisingly Sensitive For A Disney Story
13 March 2005
Warning: Spoilers
A "fish out of water" plot has Josh moving to the middle of Dine territory where he meets Thomas, Moon, and Scout. He learns the importance of trust, friendship, taking responsibility and being true to himself through a series of mistakes, betrayal of his new friends, and making amends.

Thomas and his younger sister, Scout, also come to terms with their own past tragedy, and their places in their community and family.

I do not know how accurate the depictions of Dine culture are, but I know that The People and their culture are treated with dignity and respect.

Especially touching are performances by Simon Baker (Smoke Signals) and Tessa Vonn (Stealing Innocence)

A surprisingly good made for TV movie from Disney.
