Netflix "Wind River"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_River_(film)

Based on actual events, this movie is close to my heart. I was born in Wyo & I know the Wind River Reservation & valley well. My sister is buried in Lander, which is the town you see in the very start of the movie. When my Dad retired from the DoD he went to work for the BLM in Wyoming building fence in and around the Wind River Valley.

This movie tells the story of the inequity afforded the native population. Very moving, and yet also affirming in that some are willing to step in and do what is right in the end.

It was a good movie but a fictional movie I think.
