This is a film about storytelling, about how we tell the story of our countrys past. Why do we want to believe one version and not another . Maybe because it makes us feel safe at night. There is one episode of americas history that is told very differently, depending on who you are and where you live. It is the story of our civil war and what came after. The Hot Winds Of War blew across the land. Made of it, a country divided. Friend turned into foe. Brother fought against brother. It was such a long and drawn out struggle.

To introduce myself, my name is rachel boynton. This is nelson walker. We are independent documentary filmmakers. Were making a film about how we tell the story of the civil war. Were filming in different schools all over virginia and were going to place this with a deep connection to this histo
