[CASL-L] High school: Revolutionary War movie recommendations

[Dawn Zillich]

Hi,



A teacher is looking for a Revolutionary War feature film that has value
from a historical perspective, offers good "period" information (dress,
military hardware, etc.), and is entertaining.



The teacher is willing to use “The Patriot” with Mel Gibson but I wanted to
check if anyone knew of something that does a better job from a historical
standpoint. I would prefer to be able to get a physical copy from a library
but if it can be legally streamed from a provider such as Overdrive,
Hoopla, etc. that would work too. I would need it in the next few days so I
need something that isn’t too obscure.



Thanks,



Dawn M. Zillich, librarian

St. Paul Catholic High School

"The old idea of the librarian as a sort of recluse closeted with his books
and

interested only in them is the very antithesis of the modern librarian, who

must live with people equally with books, and who must also be keenly aware

of all that is going on in the world around him."

~Linda A. Eastman~ (Head Librarian of the Cleveland Public Library, 1918 to
1938)
