Excellent movie. Profoundly satisfying on many multiple levels. Very well written. Actors worked well together. Thank you for this presentation.

[@rickschuman2926]

So many movies of this time period are about the military. Very good to see something of a civilian story.

[@davidcooper6786]

Excellent film; we need more to gain insight of those very diffficult times in early America. Wonderful depiction of such turbulent times. I love this film!

[@bradfordduarte1269]

Absolutely a wonderful movie. God bless America

I really enjoyed watching this 🎥 during a winter storm 🤠

[@irinaki2011]

Great story and a very well-made movie! Mary Silliman was an amazing lady and I really admire her. Thank you for this wonderful gem and God bless you.🙏💚🌷

[@jamesjohnston8711]

Checking the comments prior to watching I am excited to learn that the movie is about the Revolutionary Period. My 5th Great Grandfather is Robert Morris he was instrumental in the war and a Founding Father of the Nation who has literally disappeared from the history we are taught. He almost single handedly financed the American Revolution and the country would not have happened without him and his intentions and views of Freedom and a republic of "We The People" was unacceptable he was silenced and eliminated. The despair he must be feeling watching the Country he loved and created come to its end must be unimaginable. I bet you never heard of him. Tragic what's taking place, maybe God will step in.

You have a right to be proud ;but don't forget Mr Haym Solomon who assisted him in the effort ! Our Republic owes much to both them.

I enjoyed watching this film. Lest we forget, division has terrible consequences! It was incredible to watch my ancestor, Isaac Bunnel, portrayed in this movie. Suffice to say his decendants in Canada are many!

[@simonbertioli4696]

A touching and with some brilliant acting. Although hiding the harshness of those times, l enjoyed it... I wonder how far we have moved on. Still facing political problems and with divided opinions. (The so called civil wars) I would rank this film a high. Well acted nothing over the top....good story....and no special effects...and little blood. Thank you for posting this film...👍👍👍👍👍

Your so very right Simon , God Bless you and your family .🙏❤️🇨🇦

We’re all slaves to something but we don’t recognise it until it is to late, SELF.

Excellent.

HI WHAT a coincidence! Praise YHWH for His mercy, and bless those that trust in it! Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.

[@patgray9763]

A very pleasant and interesting film - what a waste of life is war. All is now forgotten and the United States is probably England's closest ally !

[@Ize14]

I had to watch this for a class assignment

[@jacobkeppler1984]

This is cool American revolutionary war movie

great movie to watch in these times with this virus closing america and the world we should go back to thee way it was when our fore fathers did freedom for america but it seems like its being taken away from greety congress goverment and sentate

@John Sharp And Q is heard from ....

[@SketcherMan2]

I liked this movie.

[@nozecone]

Filmed in Nova Scotia.

[@dragons8822]

There's no movie description, could someone please let me know ? Thanks very much

[@nozecone]

Seems to be a true story of the American Revolution: a prominent citizen is kidnapped by Tories; wife does her darnedest to get him back. A fairly 'quiet' movie ....

[@johnwightman7549]

did people in connecticut really eat at the same table as their slaves?

[@wilhelminemorris7946]

If only all white owners had treated their workers like them...there wouldn’t have been slavery.

[@davidpeteriarussi7956]

Poor as the family appears, yes indeed. There was no segregation by race but true by class.

[@bubb5225]

Yes. It was the only space they had for eating.

[@richardlahan7068]

My wife enjoyed seeing the war from a woman's point of view.

[@pepleatherlab3872]

To be free as God made you, or a subject of a monarchy bereft of fairness and treaded like a distant tax slave. Not really much of a confusion in my mind.

[@suzanneguiho4882]

Y’a!....we knew better...didn’t we???.....now we are enslaved to the oligarchs! .....we bought into their apple of so called democracy...the power of the people? ..... just an illusion that trapped us even dealer in slavery...!

[@nozecone]

Meanwhile, holding your own slaves ... no confusion?

[@pepleatherlab3872]

The mob always falls for socialism dressed up as altruism. I blame declining education standards.

[@suzanneguiho4882]

@@pepleatherlab3872 I blame our use of our free will used irrationally, putting our little selves, our little ambitions, our little desire for power, recognition, greed and self satisfactions above God, Thus wanting to become our own little gods....it is a formula for disastrous lives and disaster in family and in societies’ institutions! The greatest fear and it should make us tremble, is the fear of offending God! That is what is gone. We have just become so full of ourselves that we don’t even give our creator the basic respect which is due to HIM. In our little minds we think we our are going to improve HIS plan for our lives! .... what Pride! Some bask in that pride while it should make one want to vomit!

[@bjackins1879]

There are some good comments here. See YT videos on Libertarian Jo Jorgensen and another with Victor Davis Hansen for comments on gov't as the founders intended, etc. It is painful to realize that the founders did not oppose slavery more openly, but we judge them from our seats 250 years later. We have our own serious and tragic wrongs they would never, never have tolerated. Nothing new under the sun. Keep thinking and expressing, America, and BE LOVING.

Thumbs down due to all the men dressed up as women

[@MichelleBeahm]

Wait... they had slaves in Connecticut

[@henryd6721]

Yep. It didn't fully abolish slavery til 1848

[@connieohara8170]

We lived in Suffield CT and they had these old huge farms from the past and they called them Plantations. To this day they grow shade tobacco.

[@4thllamaofthealpacolypse712]

Of Course.

[@ozdavemcgee2079]

Duhh...Im not even American and knew that. FYI most slave imports landed in New York

[@alswann2702]

Most colonies had slaves.
