Glory

During the American Civil War, Captain Robert Gould Shaw leads the US Civil War's first all-black volunteer company, fighting prejudices of both his own Union army and the Confederates. Led by their white leader (Shaw), they must overcome bigotry, in-fighting, and the war itself, to prove themselves as men of honor. Based on actual letters sent by Colonel Robert Gould Shaw to his parents, this Civil War picture tells the story of the Massachusetts 54th Regiment, the first black regiment to fight under the American flag.
