Put one of these on your 2008 resolutions.
Bloody Dawn is a documentary about Quantrill's raid on Lawrence, Kansas. In this event, over 150 unarmed civilian males were killed in cold blood.
The film produced by Lone Chimney films uses the "direct cinema" tradition of documentary films, but will also dedicate a portion of the film to docudrama, where the raid will be played out in cinematic detail.
The folks behind this project did the excellent 2005 documentary Touched by Fire: Bleeding Kansas about the Kansas oriignsrelude to the civil war.Premiere of Bloody Dawn: The Lawrence Massacre

Wonderful film, well worth the time spent viewing it. The actress and actors were very talented in their potrayals of historic figures. They were all equally talented so much so that no one particular performance stood out above the others, from the oldest actor to the youngest actress. Very cohesive cast. Thank You! Mr. Spurgeon for helping to preseve Kansas History.
and great music too!
