Follow the River (DVD, 2005)

I liked this movie because it was a clean family type movie. To many movies are so full of trash, which made this one a breath of fresh air. Great movie..

I purchased the book and DVD, Follow the River, for friends and relatives for Christmas gifts. The DVD brings alive this story of courage before my eyes and features Sheryl Lee who portrays Mary Ingles, a loyal and determined pioneer woman, who persevers to survive under the harshest of circumstances.I love this true story so much because it is all about human survival and is a testament to endurance. It also shows the beautiful, yet dense forests, seemingly unpassable mountain ranges, and unnavigable rivers and streams giving the reader a more realistic view. My ancestry is also Shawnee Indian and I wasn't disappointed with the casting of the Indian people in this DVD. If the budget were larger, I am certain the movie would have been able to capture extensive scenery and more of Mary Ingles's determination in her plight to find her way down the river. Also, the book highlighted reasons for the kidnap, and brought the reader closer to understanding the Shawnee Indians, whereas the DVD was limited on time and doesn't include those parts. However, I decided to purchase the DVD's despite the fact that many wonderful parts of the book are left out of the movie. The book and DVD make a lovely gift because it is a great way to throroughly enjoy a great story. Having the DVD captures one's full attention. I highly recommend the combination book and DVD.

I was very disappointed in the movie from start to finish, it showed none of the hardship described in the book, the book was wonderful. I feel the movie had nothing to do with the "real" story. She didn't even get her dress dirty through the whole movie. Very disapointed as I thought it might be similar to the book. The scenery was beautiful though.

seller was very prompt on mailing! very happy to buy from again. The movie was in excellent shape and the package was also. This seller is very good to deal with!

After seeing this movie on TV. I knew that I had to buy it.
It was past around to all family members to see.
Remark:: Fantastic
More movies should be more like this one.

I had seen this movie before and liked it very much. It is about a settlement that was attacked by Indians when most of the men were out hunting and the women were cooking dinner. One of the women that were taken had a small child but she was also expecting. What amazed me in the first part of this movie was she went into labor on the trail and had her baby but then within what I portrayed as a few minutes she had to get up and walk again. Now with having children myself I could NOT have been able to get up and walk after birthing a baby! To me that took courage.

In the Indian encampment there was another woman played by Ellen Burgess (spelling may not be right) was an older woman who couldn't run the "gauntlet" and the same woman that had given birth on the trail took her place. They both escaped the Indian encampment and had several obstacles which they overcame in the end. They did have a disagreement and were on opposite sides of the river but both were found by trappers.

Very good movie and would recommend. There isn't a lot of action and most might find it boring but it is really a good movie and it is family oriented.

Eric Schweig Lovers will love this one. He is bare-chested throughout the movie. He is a very redeeming character at the end of this wonderful movie.

This was a good clean family movie.I have read the book by James Alexander Thom and although similar the movie lacked some of the adult appeal perhaps to make sure it stayed family entertainment.Over all I would recomend this movie to anyone!

Can't beat the price, was a good quality movie. Due to back order shipping was slow.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Not your typical Hollywood junk! More of an adventure!Great for a Library.I enjoy movies that have good sceenery in them especially with hi definition.

I bought Follow the River about a month ago, but I finally got it delivered to my house about two weeks ago. I liked the movie. I like movies with indians and pioners. I wanted to buy it because, i havent seen it in a while and i thought it would be good to see it again.

great info, quick ship, happy customer, will do business again with this seller
no muss no fuss, my customers were very happy with the disc and the timely manner in which we received the product

This is a very good movie. And the main Indian in this movie plays such a good part. In any movie he is in is great.

I bought the movie because i saw it on a tape i checked out from the library. I liked it so much I went on ebay and bid on it on dvd. Fortunately I won the auction! The movie is excellent and shows what people can endure under bad situations. It also shows the trust between people and how relationships can be built and strengthened even between "enemies" I give it a 5 rating on a scale of 1 through 5. 5 being the highest!
