CSA: Confederate States of America

This work of historical fiction was profoundly affecting to me. Presented as a British documentary airing on CSA TV, it recounts the history of the Confederate States of America after the South won the Civil War. Included as part of the "program" are regular ads for products and shows that will turn your stomach they are so racist. The story is compelling and the message utterly fascinating and repelling. What perhaps shocked me the most was the addendum to the movie, which identified which of the ads and historical facts were actually based in fact. Amazing, and done clearly on a very low budget, this is one movie you will not soon forget. 5/5
