The Doe Boy

Heroes Make Their Own Destiny

James Duval (Donnie Darko) delivers a moving performance as Hunter, a half Cherokee cursed with the unfortunate affliction of hemophilia, a white man's disease. Guarded by his overprotective mother, all he really wants is to be able to hunt like his father. On his first and only hunting trip, he mistakenly kills a doe, a major taboo that earns him the nickname "Doe Boy," and the disappointment of his father. As he moves forward in life, his grandfather teaches him the importance between hunting and killing and gives him the courage to find the love he desperately seeks.
