Historically accurate according to records and family interviews. I was blessed and honored to have this good movie ordered and played for my class personally on the big screen at the local multiplex theater.
I voted for Defiance for the Academy Awards and Writers Guild Award for "Best Screenplay From Another Medium" for the 2008 awards. Did not win ... but it should have. One helluva movie.

That is so cool Leanwolf! I too think it was very well written and didn't get near the credit it deserved. The actors roles were excellent, but not nearly what the script contributed IMHO. That's another honor I have to hear from an actual screenplay writer . 😃👍
I'm retired now, but as stories often begin ... "Once upon a time, long ago ..."
