mgfan This is a definite keeper...except I can't seem to find it to keep! As I also see other comments of those who would also fork out hard-earned money for this made-for-TV movie, why is no one listening?! This is a great movie from several levels; being a white person in the early west. Being Native American in the early west - and what that meant to both sides. Learning and loving each other as well as their cultures/beliefs. Obviously there is a market for this movie and there certainly is a following. Imagine how many others would love it, 'if' they ever had the chance to see it?! Please... will someone who can, make this movie available to the buying public?!

Sheila_Beers I loved this movie that presented Native American culture and history with respect and understanding. Anna, the character portrayed by Janine Turner, was a woman who learned to adapt in order to survive after being kidnapped by Indians. By adapting, she came to an understanding of Native Americans and respect for individuals. Her relationship with the Indian man showed that people are basically the same in any culture and that individuals can reach across cultural and racial lines to have caring relationships. Anna also learned about the failings of the white race, prejudice toward Indians, and the white man's mistreatment of Indians.I believe this is a story based on fact, especially since General Custer appeared in the story. My great-grandmother, who was born in 1874, was two years of age when Little Big Horn happened. She often told me she heard people discussing Little Big Horn when she was a child. I now have her books about Indians, written in the late 1800s. Earlier generations of my family came to Indiana in the early 1800s and lived with Native Americans. In fact, one rural Baptist church started as a mission to the Potawatomi Indians of northern Indiana.Most Hoosiers know the story of Frances Slocum, a pioneer girl who was kidnapped by Indians and named Maconaquah. When her family found her years later, she had so much adapted to the Indian way of life that she preferred to stay with the Indian tribe and her Indian husband and children. A similar story is "The Searchers," which starred John Wayne and Natalie Wood. However, the character portrayed by the late Miss Wood was young and malleable enough to re-adapt to white society.Because of the common themes in the above movies and incidents, "Stolen Women, Captured Hearts" has a special meaning for me. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Audrey Beavers Can't tell you how many times I have watched this movie and never seem to tire of it. Michael Greyeyes has always been one of my favorite American Indian actors. He is incredibly talented and easy on the eyes. Would like to know how to find the book or source this was taken from as it appears to be based on a true story. There should be more movies and documentaries covering the true history of American Indians as there is a such a severe lack of education and misinformation. This movie at least shows the injustices our First People have suffered over the years and it's encouraging that it reveals the true side of Custer and all those who supported him in their alarming mission to exterminate American Indians. I highly recommend it for everyone!

mdbrook I have seen this movie and I want to get it for my Lidrary and I can't seem to find this movie anywhere on DVD or Video... I cried during this movie and it is very romantic... I am into the indians and the romance novels that come out.... This is something that Cassie Edwards would write about....But the director and cast were very good at the roles they played... and I would like to see more of this kind of movie on TV or made on DVD or video in the future... Is the Indian that was the main character a real indian and if so what tribe is he from and is he planning on filming any more movies in the future? Is there a book on this also I would like to find out and read the book too. Donna Brook
