Hanta Yo - Il guerriero

I used to have this series on tape a long time ago. It was a great story!! If you like a good mini-series and appreciate Native American culture, this movie would be a must buy in my opinion.

It takes you through the life and death of Ahbleza, from his issues from childhood and his determination as a man who just wanted to live in peace! It also contains the power of having visions to see events happening in the future and the trials he goes through learning the ways of the land. It also shows the brutality of war between rival tribes and the coming of the white man to their lands.

I just want to know why hasn't this movie been put on DVD yet, so I can buy it! It needs to be on DVD!

The film is credited to Warner Brothers, but i cannot find it listed on their website. Have emailed them and awaiting feed back.

Film shown in the UK on BBC 1 on the 20th and 21st of August 1986 and has never been repeated. Should have been on general release, but never was.

I have asked the BBC to show it again but they cannot find it!

The film only covered the later part of his life, and i would have preferred it to have been part of a trilogy. As per the book.

The details in the book and the film correspond to the research on the Native American peoples,

When I watched Mystic Warrior almost 30 years ago, I recorded it on a Beta VCR. Later on I transferred it to a VHS. My tape is scratched and my VCR is in the basement somewhere along with my precious tapes.

As I was reading the reviews here I noticed they were written over the years...back in the 90's, early 2000's and now 2013. That should tell those that matter that the movie, or I should say, the story has stayed in the hearts and minds of the people who saw it. I have looked on every internet source I could think of with no luck.

So whose email box do we need to fill or whose mailbox do we need to send letters? We need to get our wishes to the right person.

Thank you for reading.

I wanted to watch this for Branscombe and I was pleased by

Robert Beltran's role also as well as Rion Hunter. Good storyline...some of the effects were a little hokey but I liked the details.

1 saw this aired on the BBC. in England ,outstandingly beautiful film and close to the book, well before the dances with wolves, should have been released, would be really good in American history to balance the view of the first nations as noble savages or murdering barbarians, really good to understand an alternative viewpoint. The portrayal of the culture and spirituality was a breathe of fresh air. Would like to see it out on DVD. the cgi was really sympathetic to the process of vision questing and not at all over the top. Does anyone know if there is a DVD out there? It was good to see native American actors but more would have been even better. the film i thought flowed easily.
