Daz is joined by film director Ron Maxwell to discuss the movies Gettysburg and Gods and Generals.
Gettysburg (1993) is more than a Civil War movie—it’s a passion project rooted in history. Based on Michael Shaara’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Killer Angels, the film was brought to the screen by director Ron Maxwell with the support of Ted Turner. Filmed on the actual battlefield and featuring thousands of Civil War reenactors, Gettysburg is renowned for its authenticity, scale, and respect for the men who fought the battle. Decades later, it remains one of the most important historical films ever made.
