Confederate Films

[adam]

Hi

Does anyone know of any films that cover the Confederate goverment during the war, not including the main Hollywood releases, Gettysburg and Gods and Generals etc. Is there any films on the life of Jefferson Davis at all?

I did a search on IMDB the other day and noticed a television feature form 2003 entitled "April 1865" which told of the Confederate goverments's last days. This did sound like the sort of thing that I am looking for, was this ever released? Is there anything like this out there?

Your APRIL 1865, THE MONTH THAT SAVED AMERICA is
not 'all that'.

I have seen the film, and it is all stuff you already know, told from a PC slant.

I only know of one film on the subject of Jefferson Davis, and it is a private release on a label called
Confederate Pictures. It claims to be the only film
ever made about his life, and it is an actual two hour
motion picture, according to the writeup. There are no reviews on the film, so I cannot say
as to how 'good' it might be, or not.

The website is found on this wise:

Go to Dixiepedia.com, and look under the ART/FILM portal. There you will see a number of Confederate Pictures entries. Apparently, this is a low budget affair, but it all seems to be filmed on location, with letters, speeches and diaries. THE GREAT SACRIFICE OF PRESIDENT
JEFFERSON DAVIS, the name of this film, is a page unto itself.
