The Battle of Franklin

This film melds the scenes from re-enactments, the 'voices' of long dead participants, contemporary photographs, the sounds of battle, and period music to tell the horrific story of five hours in the valley of death. Wide Awake Films has beautifully illustrated the need to preserve what is left of the Franklin battlefield, where Americans of so many years ago stood tall for what they believed in." -- Ed Bearss, featured in Ken Burns' The Civil War.

"It's just great cinematography," adds Widow Author Hicks. "The film very much captures the emotion that I would envision was felt at the Battle of Franklin." -- Robert Hicks, Franklins Charge co-chair and author of Widow of the South.

Please check out his new historical novel, Widow of the South, about the Battle of Franklin at www.amazon.com, it is getting great reviews.

"Brilliant. The reenacting is unparalleled; [it's the] best Civil War combat impression ever on screen." --Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Tony Horwitz, author of Confederates in the Attic, Baghdad Without a Map, and Blue Latitudes.
