COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good, interesting movie with one reservation submitted by peteralway on June 11, 2022, 6:33pm This was an interesting film about historical events and seems mostly consistent with at least Wikipedia's take on the history. Apparently there is a heavily edited version shown on television and this is the full-length version. Just a warning--a dog named for a racial slur plays a prominent role in the film, and it's pretty jarring to hear the N-word thrown around so casually.
