True Women

The Complete Mini-Series Event

In the Old West, Men Made the Rules…and Women Broke Them

In a sweeping saga of love, war and adventure, True Women chronicles the legendary story of the settling of the American frontier through the eyes of three extraordinary women — the true women of Texas — who lived their lives at the heart of the events that shaped the West.

Based on the book by Janice Woods Windle. In the 1800's, after the fall of the Alamo, the strong-willed wife of a frequently absent Texas ranger organizes a retreat of settlers from the threat of Santa Anna's army. Along with her sister and her friend, a Southern Belle who recently migrated to Texas, they fight off Comanche marauders, resist predatory Union occupation forces, battle cholera and embrace suffrage. Over the years their triumphs and tragedies help tame the wild west.

Featuring: Dana Delany (TV's China Beach), Annabeth Gish (Mystic Pizza), Angelina Jolie (Maleficent), Tina Majorino (Napoleon Dynamite), Rachel Leigh Cook (She’s All That), Michael York (Cabaret), Powers Boothe (Tombstone)

Starring: Dana Delany, Angelina Jolie, Annabeth Gish

Director: Karen Arthur

Writer: Janice Woods Windle, Christopher Lofton

Product Description

When Heaven Comes To Earth

The Perfect Sacrifice

This is a story of faith. A story about four people. A priest. A former internationally-known entertainer. A Catholic evangelist with a healing ministry. And, a religious Sister.

In a chaotic world filled with much confusion and pain, people are searching for answers. Society is providing little help to cope with this growing discontent. In this program viewers will find the answers that will help give strength and direction to live life in a meaningful and fulfilled way through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Mini Series and Cast

Love that this 2 part series presented the difficulties that women faced in the early days of settling Texas as well as the importance of treating women's opinions and experiences honestly and the need to give them the right to vote. They literally keep the home fires burning because the men were so often gone. Also love that an actual native American was given a role in this production that showed that they also had dignity and honor before it was stripped away.

To think, I didn't even know this movie existed! If I hadn't been doing a search for movies with Tina Majorino (Corrinna, Corrinna) I would never have discovered it -- and yet here are three of my favorite women stars: Dana Delany, Tina Majorino, and Angelina Jolie, all together in one big beautiful package! And in my favorite genre, too! A family of women building the country together, facing hostile Indians, the question of slavery, the brutality of life in a time of hard work and multiple hardships. Women and children died more often than not, and survival is the key to success in those times. I loved the historic context, and the delicately drawn complexities of the issues, from Indians to slavery to war to suffrage. It's all in there. Why this movie got next to no publicity is beyond me.
What does puzzle me is the fabulous Indian "Tarantula." I don't know who played him. He's not listed on the box, nor in the credits -- none of the "Indians" are. He was magnificent. I would love to know who he was/is.
I would highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in the side of history we don't get enough of: "herstory." And of course, to fans of Angelina Jolie. She's as fabulous in this movie as she is in any of her others, and plays a role quite distinct from what you may be used to. Her character is complex, admirable, and made me think and question everything I thought I knew about Southern women. In fact, she brought a bit of "Gone With the Wind" to the role, without being too obvious about it.
Dana Delaney carries the movie from beginning to end and is as wonderful, believable, powerful and sexy as she is in China Beach. What a great movie! It's long, but not a moment is wasted and I had no trouble staying with it. You won't either.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOW DID I MISS THIS WELL-WRITTEN SERIES?
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2017

Most everything about this film : the cinematography, acting, directing, musical score—and especially the screenwriting, is quite exceptional. Dana Delaney simply dominates the film as the fiercely determined, tough-as-nails Sarah, who will do whatever needs to be done in order to survive against both Mexican nationalists and Comanche in the inhospitable Texas brush country she is determined to call home...The young actress portraying Euphemia is truly gifted, and totally believable.....Although the second half of the film lags behind the first half in storyline, it is the writers of this unusual, female-centric film to whom major “kudos” should go out to; they have captured not only the language—but imbued even the roughest characters with the dignity they deserved, imparting a heartfelt poetry to the words of men and women who risked it all to follow their dreams....Definitely worth seeing—especially for those interested in historically accurate depictions of the hardships faced by early settlers.....

This is one of my all time favourite books/movies. I had it on VHS and wanted to upgrade. As soon as I received it I sat down with my teenage granddaughters and watched it (again) They loved it as much as I did.
