After seeing the film at least three times, my perspective has changed quite dramatically. Where at first I found most of it dull and trying I can now appreciate it for what it is. The acting, first and foremost, is fantastic. After a screening and Q&A with the lead actor, Damian, as well as the director I was really able to put together their relationship and see the struggles they went through to get this film made. "The Other Conquest" is a film in a league of its own. A film for the people, made by the people without getting muddled up in Hollywood actors or just another "Braveheart" or "The Last Samurai" situation. This film is best enjoyed by someone who knows a bit about the history and can appreciate natives playing natives.
