CSA: Confederate States of America

Cast & Credits
Fernando Arenas, Sean Blake, Richard A. Buswell, Charles Frank (II), Evamarii Johnson

Directed by Kevin Willmott.

A pseudo-documentary, in the style of Ken Burns' "The Civil War," that examines what might have happened if the Confederacy had prevailed over the Union forces in America's most devisive conflict. Recent history has once again shown us that, although the Commander-in-Chief of one side may declare military triumph and "Mission Accomplished," it is always the losers -- and the losers alone -- who can actually declare when a war is over. Because it's not over until they stop fighting back. Indeed, the apparently defeated may continue their battles indefinitely using unconventional methods, and beyond the officially delineated battlefields. In speculating about a Confederate victory, "CSA" begins to question (as anyone who is at all familiar with the Southeastern Red States probably has) whether, in fact, the American Civil War is truly over, and whether the people of the South (many still as bitter as if General Lee had surrendered yesterday) consider themselves not only the victims of unjustified Union oppression, but (paradoxically) the true political/cultural victors. They may have lost the battle in 1865, but did they win the war in the long run?
