The Last Confederate
I had the pleasure recently of viewing this little known movie set during the tumultuous years of the Civil War. The Last Confederate tells the true story of a soldier torn between the love of one women, and the duty to ones country. It is a bit of an understated film compared to the current Hollywood fare, but that is what I personally found most appealing about it. Not many explosions or CGI to be found here. It didn't resort to the common vilification all who fought for the Confederacy. Nor did it couch the war as strictly one fought to end the institution of slavery. Instead it approached it from the perspective of a soldier who was fighting for home and hearth.
