Where the Spirit Lives
In 1937, a young First Nations (Canadian native) girl named Ashtecome is kidnapped along with several other children from a village as part of a deliberate Canadian policy to force First Nations children to abandon their culture in order to be assimilated into white Canadian/British society. She is taken to a boarding school where she is forced to adopt Western Euro-centric ways and learn English, often under brutal treatment. Only one sympathetic white teacher who is more and more repelled by this bigotry offers her any help from among the staff. That, with her force of will, Ashtecome (forced to take the name Amelia) is determined to hold on to her identity and that of her siblings, who were also abducted.
FMovies Review:
This movie is one of my favorite movies last time. It is my favorite drama movie because parts felt very similar to my life experience. I know it gets a lot of stick for being the mainstream popular movie, but honestly I can not think of anything wrong with the movie online.
I’m big fan of drama movies. Every single performance is incredible. Not to mention that it has the best music in a movie. Where the Spirit Lives stand up to the test of time.
…Damn, I need to watch these movie online again. It was so good! I wanted to add this full movie to the web so now this movie will be available online free for all.
