GLORY - 1989 - DVD, 124 Min.
The Academy Award winning story of the 54th Massachusetts, the first black volunteer infantry unit in the Civil War. The film focuses on both the underpaid and ill-equipped 54th and their white commander, Robert Gould Shaw (Matthew Broderick). Based on Shaw's letters, the film uses thousands of accurately costumed 're-enactors' in this panoramic production. The 54th rose to every challenge, from racism to the harrowing final battle. Based on the true story of the 54th Regiment of Massachusetts
