In 1750s Virginia, a tribe of Shawnee Indians abducts pregnant settler Mary Ingles (Sheryl Lee) and her two young children, while her husband (Tim Guinee) manages to avoid capture. Enduring her captivity with dignity, Ingles earns the admiration and love of the Shawnee chief, Wildcat (Eric Schweig). Even though she shares some of his feelings, Ingles still dreams of returning home. Plotting escape, she joins another prisoner, Gretel (Ellen Burstyn), when the time is right to make their move.

Audience Reviews for Follow the River

Apr 23, 2009

I read some of the other reviews for "Follow the River". It seems if you have read the book, the movie is disappointing. I haven't read the book. I enjoyed the movie. What is the saying? "If fate hands you lemons, make lemonade." Mary Ingles makes the best of her situation, but in the end decides it better to leave her children with the Shawnee and try and make it back to her husband many days travel away. That would be one tough decision.
