I saw this movie as a child, can't remember what age. Just a few questions.

In your opinion is it an accurate interpretation?

What age children is it appropriate for?

Are there any documentaries or other films that would be a better historical representation of the truth.

Thank You for your participation.

Accurate? I don't think its purpose was to be accurate.

I think I saw it for the first time when I was 11. I think it really depends on the kid, but that age is about right if you ask me.

Read a book....better yet, read a few.
