This film was a pleasant viewing experience, as it did not have the typical Hollywood violence, sex, and language. Its subject matter deals with an old medicine woman who comes to live with her relatives before she dies, in a 1940s New Mexico rural area, and the many superstitions behind certain gifts that some people do have for medicinal herbs and people who have clairvoyance. The medicine woman—like many healers in the past—was called a witch by some and had to deal with the true evil that always fights against the light and always calls the light "evil" and their evil "light." A little boy tells the story from his memory when he grows up. The story does bring to mind and heart a more gentle world because of the love that the medicine woman had for the little boy and others. You should be very touched by this film. Miriam Colon, Luke Ganalon, Director Carl Franklin.
