Editorial Reviews: Whether or not you've seen the Oscar-award-winning feature film Glory, you're sure to find inspiration and heartbreak in the story of African American soldiers in the Civil War. The True Story of Glory Continues, narrated by Morgan Freeman, looks at the patriots of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, formed at the behest of Frederick Douglass. Their story of gallantry and heroism is told with period photos, letters, reenactments, and footage from Glory. Fighting in South Carolina, risking unknown misery at the hands of Southern captors, rejecting the pittance offered them to fight (in comparison to the wages paid to white soldiers), these men fought and died to help free their brothers and sisters from their chains. While the oppression they suffered at the hands of their government and white commanders is horrendous, the viewer is forced to realize that these men, some of them former slaves themselves, were driven by principle to fight against a system they saw as even worse. That spirit of idealism is so well captured that The True Story of Glory Continues should find a place in every home. --Rob Lightner
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The True Story of 'Glory' Continues Comment: This is a rather well-done video that nicely supplements the film 'Glory.' It provides a number of historical insights into the famed 54th Massachusetts Regiment, along with some footage that did not appear in the original film. More Reviews
