This movie is more like a docu-drama in that it shows scenes from Turquoise Rose's time in Phoenix and on the reservation. It shows situations and their resolution in several scenes, then fades to black, then shows another situation in several scenes.
It's not like regular movies today where you meet the protagonists, find out what the issue to be addressed is, then see the conclusion. Although the movie is oddly edited, it's still a cohesive unit that tells a watchable story.
I found it fascinating as my family legends include Cherokee and Algonqian Powhatan stories but too far back to claim Native American status. I've read of the Trail of Tears and some of the reservations' histories.
I hope this is a true depiction of what the Navajo reservation is like today. I wish I could speak the Navajo language to understand the parts that weren't translated.
I probably will watch it again.
