First Historical Documentary-style movie I stayed awake through!

I can't believe that I actually got a bit interested in this movie! I watched Canada: A People's History and I was not able to keep myself awake. But when I watched War of 1812, I actually watched it! I was also happy with the casting of this film, as Sir Isaac Brock was not depicted as a 60 year old (watch Canada: A People's History and you'll understand what I mean), and everyone was well-suited for their roles. Great Documentary-style of movie! ****1/2 out of *****
