Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and history buffs. If you loved Glory or Civil War, start here.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone, intense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 29 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13: peril. Probably too much for younger kids.

Through the eyes of a British "documentary", this film takes a satirically humorous, and sometimes frightening, look at the history of an America where the South won the Civil War.
