Television Mini-Series: Broken Trail


Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church charm as uncle and nephew cow pokes who try and make their fortune driving horses across western states. Along the way they find a group of Chinese slave would-be prostitutes to rescue. This rough and tumble wild west story takes us on a ride into a world seldom told about the west. We learn how the Chinese were exploited and abused.

I enjoyed it from start to finish, however, sometimes it tried to do too much. Like when they came upon some native Americans who charged them to trail across their lands. The scene felt a little "obligatory Indian scene here."

Spend an evening enjoying this mini. Look for it in in Bandon, Dora and Myrtle Point.
