Using the "Book of Shadows" (without permission, of course), Richard Montana (Balthazar Getty) tries to free himself from the power of his family's karma -- despite the possible negative consequences on himself and his sweetheart, Paige (Rose McGowan). In another affair of the heart, Jason (Eric Dane) goes ballistic and breaks up with Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) when he learns the truth about the Charmed Ones. Also, Piper (Alyssa Milano) learns from Chris (Drew Fuller) that she must vanquish the Swarm Demons, the last remaining threat to her son, Wyatt -- but this will prove a difficult if not insurmountable task, since killing one Swarm Demon instantly creates two more in its place! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Nanci Rossov directs this cross-cultural drama about captured Native Americans enrolled in a turn of the century "Negro" college. The film opens with Richard (Chuma Hunter-Gault) and Cleola (Tembi Locke) announcing their engagement. Though the college prides itself on its integrationist philosophy, the sharp-witted Cleola soon chafes under Richard's and the school's patronizing attitudes toward women. Meanwhile, three Lakota braves are accepted into the school at the behest of a U.S. Army officer who wants to prove that Indians can function in mainstream culture. The trio's reluctance to participate is more and more pronounced as their upwardly mobile Black classmates antagonize them with racial asides. Unbowed won Best Feature at the 1999 American Indian Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide
