Ratings and reviews

Watched this with my grandad years ago. It touched me in a way I can't explain. My grandad would tell me stories on my Cherokee heritage and I always thought of this movie. I was very young then. I looked all over for this movie so I could watch it again. Now I'm 21 and its still one of my favorite movies. I recommend to anyone. 5 stars.

It is a very good movie but it was not filmed in the Smokies. It was filmed in a town located 2 hours West of Quebec. It said 4 days of filming was done in Tennessee but doesn't say where.
