EMMY AWARD-WINNING "BAD BLOOD"

The Border War that Triggered the Civil War

Seven years before the Civil War, the question of slavery exploded on the western frontier when Kansas became a territory, causing bad blood between Kansas and Missouri that's lasted over 150 years.

With the eyes of the nation watching, the thorny issue of slavery ignited the border between Missouri and Kansas Territory. The years 1854 to 1860 saw fraud, treason and terror leading all the way up to (and into) the Civil War. Filmed in high-definition, the story is brought to life in this 90-minute documentary by more than 150 actors. Bonus material includes historical interviews and behind the scenes footage.

Review: "It is easily the best campaign video using us living historians I have seen in a coon's age. Until now it was a vast wasteland for the most part. The innovative use of different photographic effects and careful editing, combined with good narration, make this a must get if you are fond of the genre, or not. And lo and behold, the reenactors actually look like soldiers. Good work, both of my thumbs up." Doug C.
