This film is a winner that will hold your interest and grip your heart. Watching these two young boys interact and go from adversaries to bonded buddies is great viewing and will spark dinner table discussions afterwords. I appreciated the lack of blood and gore, when an elk is killed for the boys survival. The scenery in the far northwest is breathtaking. There are many themes interwoven: obedience to parents, facing abrupt changes in life, and accepting people from different cultures and backgrounds. I recommend this video for anyone.
