Very good movie made on the cheap about the American Revolution, there's not really a lot of footage here, just narration, and some clever representation of history. Like you don't see a horse in this, even though you hear them, see some scenery, and maybe a map, so not a lot of re-enactments. I do like how the EB people got away with this, some clever filmmaking here.
