Ponderous Productions did an excellent job exploring a part of American history which unfortunately has been glossed over. The movie isn't so much a history lesson as it is an introspective into an individuals' personal narrative. It was a story that I was unfamiliar with and am grateful to get the insight into such an influential and interesting individual.
This movie isn't about the technical aspects or about throwing money at a subject to do it 'justice'. This movie is about telling the story of a true American hero. This movie is about finding a diamond uncut, and slicing away the excess to tell a tight story.
