Synopsis

A Native American legend - An Epic Struggle The journey of a white boy into a foreign land - The land of the Lakota Experience the compelling history of Crazy Horse, from boyhood until his untimely death, through the eyes of a fictional white boy named Andy - as he takes a heartfelt journey of the spirit. In 1858 Andy's family departed on a perilous wagon train excursion toward the Montana gold fields - a trip they would never finish. A nighttime Indian attack on their camp took the lives of everyone, except young Andy. Alone on the vast prairie, Andy was captured by a young Indian known as Curly. The Lakota didn't take prisoners, yet the light-skinned Indian took him back to his village, believing the boy was a spirit sent to him by the Great Whankan Thanka. Re-named Wrong Hand by his adoptive Sioux family, Andy grew up alongside his strong and brave warrior brother. When soldiers encroached on the Indian's hunting grounds the young man had to choose - leave with those of his own race, or stay in the culture he'd come to call his own. Deciding to stay and work alongside the Lakotas to save their land, Andy experienced tribal politics and epic battles, including the Battle of Little Big Horn. After many victories, and in Lakota tradition, Andy's Indian brother earned a new name. Though not an imposing sight, the mention of his name drove a dagger of fear through the hearts of whites. The brother's name is Crazy Horse...
