Adding in Robert De Niro didn't hurt. Being based on a true story and the story it tells is just as appealing to me as any other factor. The treatment of the Indigenous tribes in this country has always been a topic I valued that caused not only sadness but outrage on my part. There are so many such stories which most have not been told or buried. My wife and I are going to see it too.
My son is adopted from Guatemala and is mostly Indigenous Maya. The Maya, Aztecs and Incas have been treated brutally. Just outrageous abuses against Native Americans in the North/South/Central America.
