'Amistad' is one of the most powerful movies I have ever seen

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2013)

Stories such as this need to be continually told and retold - for every generation produces its great and awful people and circumstances. For me, Amistad gave me the most profound memory I can never lose "I will call to the past, to the beginning of time and beg them to come and help me. they will come, I will draw them into me. I am the whole reason they have existed at all." How many of us can acknowledge the reconditeness of this remarkable human strength, We know our past and our future, we are a continuous stream of life and each generational makes the past important and the past declares the present. As one with an Aboriginal heritage this for me is great truth.
