I came away with many mixed emotions, but to pick up on bop radar's thread: a sense of sadness that the personal can be overrun by the social/political. That we're ultimately helpless and yet we try nonetheless to make that human connection.

Another interesting point: the most emotional visual was not the (sadly) familiar images of death and massacres, but the boarding school photos. It makes me want to go back in time and wrestle with history.

I never saw the movie so I don't know how *this* version of the Pocahontas story played out but that was not necessary to the vid as allegory.
