[edit] Film and television adaptions

In 1995, Bruce McDonald directed the film Dance Me Outside starring Ryan Black, Hugh Dillon, and Adam Beach, an adaption to the book by Kinsella. A year later in 1996, the television show The Rez was first aired which was also an adaption to the book by Kinsella. Kinsella said he was not impressed and did not like the film and television adaption to his book.
