Audience Member This movie played on a local PBS station in 1976 or 1977. I was around 13 years old at this time. Seeing it left a major impact both for it's perspective on American history and film. It was a wonderful film history lesson. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
