While I'm always a sucker for a "Hallmark moment", many folks will find this film a bit too "Disney" for their tastes. The film does have some interesting angles and is eminently watchable if a bit too "after-school special" in spots.The idea of a spirit guide in the persona of Jim Thorpe was a nice touch and the coincidental parallels between Thorpe's fall from grace and that of Greg Cima's incarcerated father were consistently interesting. I also enjoyed seeing Jason Wiles as a high school student in this after seeing his later performances as Officer Boscorelli in "Third Watch"

This is a delightful low-budget film centering around young male-teenager and family moving from town to town because of father's constant jail-transfers. The disruption to the family-unit as they yet again settle in new town,new school,new job for mom,house the car ect.... Encounter with wise and mysterious native Indian help both,each respectively acheive their goal's, gainging spiritual inner-strength and renknewed determination to conquer the odd's. Top performances by billed-lead's RUSSELL MEANS,JASON WILES and Superman's former co-star MARGOT KIDDER. Top story and direction to those credited for this film,RECOMMENDED VIEWING!

Always when I watch this film, I feel inspired and uplifted - the scenery is totally realistic and cut out of the middle of life - and the message is straight from heart, soul and spirit.It's a magic film - directed by a superior power!

Young people today find themselves in situations much like the young man in the movie. There are many ways to be discriminated against by various groups to keep one from realizing their dreams. Guardian Angels (or ghosts) appear, or make themselves known at appropriate times during times of need or when prayed for. Windrunner is an excellent example of this type of guidance from a spiritual source. I would very much like to see this movie again and share it with others.
