Being a native Kansan I am of course very interested in Kansas History, in particular early history. Having studied the Lawrence Massacre I was very pleased with how the film captured a very accurate account of the happenings of that unhappy day. Being a civil war reenactor for the last 28 years I found the costuming and attention to detail to be top notch and very much what I would expect to see people of the time wearing. They did not attempt to add in any "hollywood" type gunfights and showed how people might correctly act to committing violence and being on the receiving end of it. I would recommend this film to anyone seriously wanting to get to know early Kansas history better. And I am looking forward to reviewing more films from this film company.
