Colors of the Wind (Pocahontas)

The 1995 film Pocahontas was created based on Pocahontas, a Native American woman who lived from the 15th to the 16th century.

Although the work has faced considerable criticism over racial issues and differing perspectives, I encourage you to watch it at least once.
