Dead of Winter: The Donner Party (2015)
Glaring omission
19 June 2016 - 8 out of 8 users found this review helpful.
Overall, this is a decent telling of the Donner Party tale. They hit the big points, and their experts that they bring in, particularly Dr. Rarick. know their stuff.
But the thing is, if you watch this documentary, you'd never know that there was another family on the trail with them, the Graves family. They were in the midst of the whole story, yet they aren't mentioned once. How is that possible?
Sure, I'm overly sensitive on this subject since i'm a direct descendant of one of the surviving Graves family members. But even so, how do you just ignore part of the story like that?
