This was a good Civil War movie. It doesn't say so here but I'm pretty sure this was a made for TV movie? Or maybe when I saw it it actually was not new. I saw it on TV back in the 90's I guess 96.
There weren't any big stars in it but the acting was quite good. The story focuses on the infamous Andersonville prisoner of war camp in the south during the Civil War, where starvation, cruelty and disease were rampant among the captured union soldiers.
The movie holds back a lot, I think because it was made for TV like I said, and they obviously didn't put tons of money into it, but the story is good and the acting is quite good which elevates this to a higher rating. It's not easy to find but I did track it down online, give it a watch if you are a fan of this genre.
