Description
When a group of rival gangstas are locked up in the same cellblock, chaos and brutality erupt. Prison counselor and martial arts master Nick Takalano is committed to saving them from a life of crime, gangs, and violent sex. Eventually, the prisoners are put to the ultimate test when their prison bus is hijacked. Finding themselves in an area where racism rules, they are forced to fight for survival in an all-out gang war against an inner-city, blood-crazed, devil-worshipping cult. LOMBARDO BOYAR (The Bernie Mac Show), ANDREW JOHNSON (The X-Files), and SAMMY ROTIBI (Tears of the Sun) round out the intense, urban cast in this bullet-ridden tale of brotherhood and redemption. The blazing hip-hop soundtrack featuring the music of AZTLAN UNDERGROUND, DJ CHEMEK, and HIT SQUAD enhances the action and adds to this explosive cinematic masterpiece. The Wounded shows a world where lives are imprisoned by fear and violence, but souls are liberated by larger-than-life heroes! ! The Wounded will bleed all over you!!!

Great film.......2007-05-21

It's one of the most touching films i have seen. It deals with alot of issues not made public.

Informative and highly moving documentary.......2006-07-21

This is a truly memorable and moving documentary on the social and political problems of Lakota life on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservervation in South Dakota. So many people do not know or understand their way of life. Director Oliver Tuthill shows an un-yielding glance into the Lakota's everyday problems and perseverance in order to survive. He shows the issues factually (such as the mold overtaking their homes, the poverty, and abuse)and lets the viewer see the horrors for themselves. The film is highlighted by insightful interviews by the Lakotas and government officials. After seeing this documentary, one wants to be an activist and try to help make a difference in the hard lives of these remarkable people. This film not only shows the grittiness of their life, but the contrasting richness of their culture, customs, and their will to survive. I would recommend this documentary to anyone who wants to know more about the Lakota way of life as well as be inspired.

Terrific, serious look at native American problems on a reservation!.......2006-02-17

A very careful and full view of sociological, economic and political problems on a Native American reservation with interesting interviews with Indian leaders and business people. Should see this good, well made 70 minute film dealing with a serious American problem. Living conditions on the reservation are shown as are resultant health problems.

A must see!

Excellent Film.... A real eye opener too. .......2006-02-16

The Sioux Nation produced many great leaders such as Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Russell Means. American Indian actor and activist Russell Means is a powerhouse and what he has to say is very upsetting, (You'll never see this on network television) but this man is one of the most gifted speakers I have ever heard, and I recommend this film to everyone who has an interest in Native Americans and what they are going through. Congressman Jim McDermott, who gained fame and notoriety from appearing in Michael Moore's movie Fahrenheit 911, offers real insight into what life is like for many American Indians who live on the reservations where they are isolated and alienated. The film reminded me of Incident at Oglala with Robert Redford in its style and visual composition. If you want to understand what life is like on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, then you should definitely see this film.

An astonishing look at the Native American Sioux.......2006-02-05

This documentary makes a powerful statement about hope and will inspire anyone who has faced discrimination and despair. Indian activist and actor Russell Mean's statements about 911 and the Twin Towers are shocking and disturbing, but his belief in the culture of the Lakota (Sioux) is powerful and moving. The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is like a third world country in many respects and watching this film gives you the sense of the desolation and isolation people living there must feel. It almost can be viewed as a mirror of what life could be like for many of us in the future as baby boomers age and the entitlement programs collapse. This film is a warning as a well as a statement of hope. What can we learn from the Sioux? I've been asking myself that question since I first watched this remarkable movie.

Worth Watching.......2004-03-24

Wounded Hearts is definitely worth watching. I enjoyed it fully. It is a low budget film, but don't judge the movie by it's budget. The actors were unknown to me, but all delivered moving performances. Jay becomes a drunk after his pregnant wife is killed in an auto accident. His mother helps him to care for his young daughter. He loses his high paying job and resorts to driving a Taxi to make money. His brother-in-law owns a club which he showcases his jazz musician skills at here and there. He meets Lisa, who is in a relationship with a player. She gets tired of cancelled dates and his cheating. She decides to date Jay. The relationship is rocky because Jay is still dealing with the ghost of his deceased wife and this hinders him from becoming (...) involved with Lisa. The daughter also is jealous of her father's new relationship and does things to cause problems. There are enough twists and turns to keep the story moving along. It will hold your attention as you wait to see if love will blossom for Jay and Lisa as they try to overcome all of their obstacles.

This episode of A&E's Biography series calls itself Wounded Genius and tells the story of famed playwright Tennessee Williams as his early hurts mount with depressing rapidity: his hard-drinking man's man of a father taunted him for being a sissy; his mentally unstable, puritanical mother loved him, but controlled him; his older sister, companion and "soul mate," suffered a mental breakdown and was institutionalized for life while they were both still in their teens. This 50-minute video makes the case that his early years gave him the material for his meteoric rise to success in the worlds of stage and film, but also laid the groundwork for the personal problems that would eventually be his downfall. Many viewers may know Williams for his successful works, such as the Pulitzer Prize-winning A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, but this documentary also deals with his subsequent 20-year slide. His brother, biographers, and friends shed much light on his life, as do several television interviews of Williams himself. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Big On The Drugs, A Bit Thin On The Plays.......2002-03-22

On this A & E video bio of Tennessee Williams, there's plenty of talk of his drinking and drug-taking and sleeping around. There's not much on the plays, just snippets of the highly salacious trailers (of the movies made from them), and almost no analysis. Few clips of Tennessee's wonderful interviews are included, except a snippet of the Davis Frost show when he walks on drunk and a few others.

Interviews with the playwights' brother Dakin, biographers Lyle Leverich and Donald Spoto, old friend and minor writer Donald Windham, actor Eli Wallach, actress Kim Hunter and a few others appear and try their best, but aren't allowed to say very much. Williams later-life problems are put down to drinking, and no mention is made of the tremendous pounding he took from the anti-gay press of his day, even at the top of his success in the fifties. Only Kim Hunter is allowed to say at the end of the tape that, since Tennessee's death, his later plays which were so roundly denounced in the American press (but not the European) are now finally getting their due.

The wounded vets deserve 5 stars for their resilience.......2007-04-04

This DVD of a 60minutes program about wounded vets trying to return to civilian life was interesting, however, it was disappointingly short. I thought 60 minutes was for 60 minutes, these are only 15 minutes long...what was left out??? When these are aired on t.v. do viewers watch 45 minutes of commercials? I also thought that they interviewed very resilient people with excellent support systems of family and friends, not all are so fortunate.

Product Description

Table of Contents: Remember These Faces (1945) 18 minutes running time - This intense film was originally shot to show how war bonds are used to provide for medics to help wounded soldiers fighting in the island hopping war campaigns in 1945. The footage is some of the most raw, realistic and brutal footage that the government produced during WWII. Although it was filmed and released to the public at the tail-end of the war (shocking, considering how graphic the movie is), it showed that there was still a lot of suffering and death still taking place.

don't let the little Troma logo fool you........2006-02-09

this movie would have been okay, had it not been totally boring. if you want a description of what "the wounded" is like, i would say it is like a home movie that draws inspirations from "american history x" and "one flew over the cuckoos nest." it is far from good though. the acting sucks big time and nobody has any flare in their acting. you just get shots of random guys running through the woods. i understand that it is an independently made film, but it was filmed in 2003. im sure there was better qualities of cameras 3 years ago!

also, was that saddam hussein i saw as the counselor guy? i could have swore!
