Pocahontas: Beyond the Myth (2017 TV Movie)
7/10
Good, if you look past the re-enactors
26 April 2022
This is a good documentary, touching on points not usually discussed about Pocahontas. My only complaint is the lack of actual Native American actors. In the reenactment of John Smith being brought before Chief Powahatan, the "native" actors are clearly painted darker, because their lighter skin is visible at their waistbands. Even the actress portraying the famous woman isn't of Native American descent. Some might not care about that, but it's not something I can overlook.
