An Excellent Documentary of the French & Indian War

This movie shows events that occurred some twenty years before the American Revolution(and in part led to it)that being that rarely heard of conflict called The French & Indian War.It was a time when the Redcoats were the good guys,and shows the early years of George Washington,who wanted nothing more than to be an officer in the British Army.Often called a sideshow to the Seven Years War(or First World War)this determined who would rule the North American Continent once and for all.I liked the way that this director used historical reenactors and paintings to tell the story of a struggle so crucial that if lost,we'd all be speaking French today.
