This was recommended to me by a comment left on my Four Sheets post. And I'm very happy I picked it up. The Doe Boy is about a haemophiliac kid named Hunter (James Duval) born to a white father (Kevin Anderson) and a Cherokee mother (Jeri Arredondo). The father is quite a man's man in that he loves to hunt, do his own repairs, and has a passion for flight so Hunter has a difficult time pleasing him in those regards due to his health.
Directed by Randy Redroad and produced by Chris Eyre (Smoke Signals), this is another impressive debut about a boy who tries to cope with his father's standards as well as the obstacles placed in his life. Running just a tad under 90 minutes, it's quick yet it takes its time in telling a simple story. What I liked most about this film is it doesn't make an issue out of his father being white. It becomes apparent that both worlds are well accepted by everyone despite some skepticism here and there.
