"Misunderstood cultures" in movie
Chris Martini’s “The Stone Child": A Lakota-Mormon American TaleIt may be universal, but in the upcoming Chris Martini film, The Stone Child, the boy and his parents aren’t the usual plastic suburban cut-outs. This time, the family is Mormon and Lakota.
And that’s where it gets interesting....You see, Martini isn’t Mormon or Lakota himself, but that didn’t prevent him from writing a script about two of the most misunderstood cultures in the United States.

Not having seen this film, writerfella hopes the makers did their homework, because it sounds an awful lot like the 1984 made-for-TV film, THE STONE BOY, with Robert Duvall, Glenn Close, and Wilford Brimley. That would be tragic, if they did not...
