Looking for Ms Locklear [Warning: Contains Spoilers! :) ]

Ok, now that LFML is being distributed for purchase, let's talk about it! What were your favorite scenes? Were you clapping and cheering at any particular moment? Were there any moments that surprised you? How about when they found Miss Locklear?
I didn't see another discussion specifically about this topic, so I hope I'm not duplicating someone else's efforts.

And by the way, I'm starting this discussion before I've even seen the movie! I'm still waiting for it to be available on R&L's website to purchase. I know it's available on Amazon, but R&L don't get as much of a cut if you buy there. (if LFML is available through R&L's website, somebody please tell me! I haven't been able to find it yet).

Wow, guys, that was awesome. I don't know if there's much more to say than that, in a good way.

I enjoyed seeing you guys meet your teacher...

But most of all, I sat on the edge of my seat at the end, waiting to see if the bill had passed. And, man... that is so disheartening. I really enjoyed getting to know the Lumbee tribe. That's just sad.

Has anything happened since then??

Teresa,

According to Wikipedia, "On June 3, 2009, the US House of Representatives voted 240 to 179 for federal recognition for the Lumbee tribe, acknowledging that they are the descendants of the Cheraw tribe. The vote will go on to the US Senate.[1]" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbee)

So it looks like yes, they have made some progress. But as near as I can tell from my quick google search, they're not there yet...

The most touching part of the video is when Link gave "mouth to mouth" to that poodle, and the dog came back to life. If it were not for that heroic effort, that dog would be dead. Even though Link worked on the dog for 3 hours, he never gave up. And that is the theme of this movie - Never giving up! And then to find out later that the poodle was lost by Ms Locklear years earlier, well that was an ironic twist that took us all by surprised. They found her, but she lost the dog and in the final scene all 4 are reunited.

Here's a clip from a 20-20 episode titled "FREELOADERS" that I happened upon this week. Contains some interviews and content on the Lumbee Indians, including tribal council member Ben Chavis . . .

Hearing little old South Dakota mentioned is always a surprise. As mentioned, the Pine Ridge Reservation is certainly a stark contrast to the Lumbee areas featured here.
