Movie: Shenandoah

This epic struggle of the Civil War is portrayed on the screen with a faith and fury seldom accomplished. In what many consider his greatest role, James Stewart plays a widowed Virginian who attempts to make his land an island, sheltered from the horrors of war. He successfully pits his bull-headed and almost arrogant belief in peace against all the forces attempting to draw him into the war, until it involves his own family.
