The Broken Cord (1992)
Un joven de Lakota llamado Adam es adoptado por David Norwell, de 26 años. A Norwell se le dice que Adam podría tener retraso mental, pero Norwell cree que el niño tendrá éxito en un ambiente amoroso. Tiene que lidiar con los problemas de criar a un niño con necesidades especiales, como tener que cuidar a un niño que tiene todo, desde problemas para ir al baño hasta convulsiones. Después del descubrimiento de una lesión en el cerebro de Adam, más tarde se dio cuenta de que Adam no tiene una discapacidad de aprendizaje como se creía anteriormente, sino más bien el síndrome de alcoholismo fetal.
