There have been many movies made about historical persons from different countries and different places. But still there are many people left that one could make excting and interesting movies about. Do you have any suggestions whos life one can do a good movie about?
One person I would like to see a film about is the female Apache leader Lozen (sister to the maybe more famous Victorio). Together with her brother and with Geronimo and others she fought both US and Mexican troops in the 19th century. It is said that she had a special gift to foresee the movements of the enemy, which saved her people several times.
Aside from being a leader of war she was also a shaman, midwife and healer.
There has been made a documentary about her in 2003, in the TV series Warrior women. The episode was narrated by Lucy Lawless (Xena).

Oh and definitely Theodore Roosevelt, pretty much my favourite U.S. President ever.
