Today, DANCES WITH WOLVES, which ranks on AFI’s list of the most inspiring films of all time, turns 35. In this 2006 AFI Archive clip, THUNDERHEART director Michael Apted reflects on how the film’s commitment to authentic Native American representation helped open the door for more honest and meaningful stories on screen.
