I think they can make a movie out of it. Strong heart has big potential to be a great action movie.

I can't picture it been made into a movie, but I will love to see the characters from Sarah's vision come alive

I would personally really enjoy this to be turned into a movie. I would love to see the scenery and I think Sarah's adventures would keep the audience's attention.

I agree. The locations seem amazing, and apart from that, I'd love to experience Sarah's journey through the big screen. I hope that if it is adapted into a film, justice is done to Sheldon's descriptions because they were so captivating that I'd be disappointed if they weren't.

I also think the setting would make beautiful scenery but it could be challenging re-enacting the adventure Sarah had.

I would love to see the movie, especially for the Olympic Peninsula scenery! However, I think it would be quite expensive due to the ancient animals.

Yes, I think Strong Heart would be a huge hit as a film. Though I do believe that a few of the rough parts like the attack by animals could be altered to make it a little less scary.

I think it could definitely work as a movie, they'd have to add a bit more to the story though

I definitely think Strong Heart would be an amazing movie. The scenes are amazing! The author describes them with such talent, I'm impressed. But then again, I'm afraid they would change the parts of the book I love.

Strong Heart would work very well as a film. There are enough twist and turns that could create a wonderful script. It also contains stories that can stand on it own as short films to enlighten on some societal issues like;
-Sexual abuse in all form
-Violence and it's impact on human behavior
-Archaeological findings and preservation
-Exploitation of the land for personal ambition

As a whole it will cover all the issues mentioned and also provide enjoyment with the suspense, archaeological discoveries and human behavior in the face of survival.

I think it would make a great movie. Especially since it is set outside with beautiful scenery. I cant think of any specific actors but native Americans should be included. I think they should include a few more youthful characters.

Yes I think it would be a great movie. I for instance could see the whole story from my third eye when I started reading the book. It felt like watching a movie to honest.
