Perhaps, given the strong feelings and obvious expertise of this group in determining the misleading nature of this film, an effort should be made to call the producer, director, and distributor to justice before a court of law for perpetrating a fraud and misrepresentation of the facts. This should not be done for the content of the film per se (which is likely to be protected under the guise of artistic license) but for the false and misleading advertising and promotion that attempts to persuade the public that the film is factual history, worthy of "lesson plans, etc." Perhaps an appropriate plaintiff would be the Virginia History Society or similar organization or institution with both corporate body and scholarly expertise. I am required to tell you that I am NOT an attorney and that nothing in this message should be interpreted as a legal opinion. However, I do enjoy watching a good fight. :-) Bob ************************************* Robert D.
