Revealing mistakes: In the scenes where Anna and Sarah first escaped they were riding bareback then there were times you could see saddles on the horses, especially at the river where they're recaptured - you can see them bareback, but when Anna's horse goes down you can see a saddle on her horse.

Quotes:

Tokalah: You are a liar, a thief.
Anna Brewster-Morgan: How dare you call me a thief? You are the thief! You stole me from my home!
Tokalah: I gave you a better home.
Anna Brewster-Morgan: I never asked to be taken from my husband.
Tokalah: You did ask. I heard you ask.
Anna Brewster-Morgan: You arrogant fool.
Tokalah: What did you call me?
Anna Brewster-Morgan: [slaps at him] I said you thoughtless, arrogant fool!
Tokalah: [yanks her head back by her hair] Don't ever speak to me that way again.
Anna Brewster-Morgan: I'll never speak to you any other way.

Michael Greyeyes makes this movie a very personal adventure into American history.

I saw this movie on television on August 8th and dreamt about it that night. I was so taken by the performance of Michael Greyeyes that the next day I felt compelled to find out who he was. I watched every available video he appears in within the week. Nothing compares to his performance in Stolen Women, Captured Hearts--he certainly captured mine! I was so drawn into the story that I felt like I was having a past life experience. It inspired me to visit a museum of Native American history and I am now reading Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.
