Step into history

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2020)

There are movies that are historically perfect and there are those that sweep you into the history. This is the latter. The main character is a compilation of people, not all events happened perfectly as they were portrayed, but at the end, my students understand the sacrifice, emotion, struggle, and the events of a major battle for their test. They realize that the men and women who built our nation were real. They lived, loved, fought, sacrificed-many even died-and the rest got up another day to do it all again. Truly can not recommend this enough. (Though if blood makes you squeamish, watch it with me so I can tell you when not to look or to step into the Hall--what I do with my students...)
