For 'So Cold the River ' I'm actually working on adapting the book with Scott Silver who was just nominated for an Oscar for 'The Fighter ' and who also wrote '8 Mile ' which I think is a terrific screenplay. The chance to work with Scott is a tremendous pleasure and I'm learning a lot.
I think people should look at learning about Native American history the same as visiting Washington D.C. and seeing the monuments there. It's all part of the package.
