Although I just finished watching this short documentary on the big screen, I feel this movie is more fit for a T.V. audience. I can't see people paying money to see this film. There were parts that were well done, such as the part where the girls voice narrates portions of the Navajo myths on creation, etc. But most of the film was amateurish, even for a documentary. I can't really slam a film that gives some insight into the lives of modern day Navajo people, but then I can't overlook the flaws either. I really didn't feel like I knew the real people in the film any better than I did before the film started. I thought the giggling girl interactions between the contestants was interesting, although much of that was filmed on the girls own home camera and it was hard to hear everything being said. I guess the moral of the movie is supposed to be that when a cultures language dies, that culture dies. If that supposition is correct, then the Navajo tribe is in trouble based on how much these girls could speak the language. Semi-interesting film, but not one I would likely go out of my way to watch again.
