Fields of Freedom (2006)
Pickett's Charge from a soldier's perspective
9 July 2006 - 8 out of 8 users found this review helpful.
This film is being shown at the Gateway Center in Gettysburg, PA. I believe this is the only place you can see it. It's shown on a big (I-MAX like, but not quite I-MAX) screen, and it has great sound. The musical score (using some Civil War era melodies) is impressive.
This movie provides a 30-minute introduction to the Battle of Gettysburg's climatic action (the repulse of Pickett's Charge), told from the perspective of the soldiers who fought the battle. It was filmed on a farm in western Maryland, and there are no stars or even familiar faces among the actors. Given its purpose, I think Fields of Freedom is a success. Anyone visiting Gettysburg, should take time to go see it.
