I Heard the Owl Call My Name (1973)
Meaningful and dramatic

I found this movie to be a compelling account of cultural understanding, religious conviction, and historical enlightenment. Jagger portrays an Anglican priest whose days (unknown to himself) are numbered. He is sent by his Bishop to a tribe of Canadian Indians. On this mission, the priest is naive and uncertain of the value of the Indian culture, but soon develops a deep and meaningful understanding of the culture and heritage of those to whom he is sent.
Jagger develops a close relationship with members of the tribe which results in that deep appreciation for their values and traditions.
I would recommend this movie to viewers of all ages and persuasions - truly inspiring!
