[edit] This article is missing credit for Sandrine Holt playing Pocahontas in the Canadian film by the same name
This is a great article but it's missing her role in the movie Pocahontas in which she delivered an outstanding performance as the legendary Indian Princess.
I watched it and it appears to be a Canadian production that was done to very high artistic and historical values. Visually, this film is a lesser known gem. I think however that overall the film needed a bigger budget, and unfortunately the plot therefore has a somewhat compressed and oversimplified quality, it also skips over Native/English language issues at some cost as well--
Nevertheless it's an excellent work in other ways (authentic native dress and very convincing early colonial ship and trappings, plus very high quality actors) and I felt that the time spent watching it was worth it. Holt's rendering of Pocahantas in particular is captivating and compelling.
Anyone who wants to see extremely authentic native actors and dress would enjoy this (yes I know Sandrine is Chinese and French, but she blends right in with a strong Native American cast). The romance between Pocahontas and John Smith is also well done and has electricty. Unfortunately the plot seems to be a budgetary victim (has a bit of that 'made for Television' oversimplification and pacing).
