anyone know if there's ever been a movie about King Philip's War ?

I'm writing a script for one. Interested in knowing if there've been any I don't know about. It's such an unknown about interesting peice of American history and also so compelling on it's face it's amazing that it's not more known about.

1. Much of that war took place in NH.

2. Yeah, and a minor amound did take place in modern day NH

I've been researching alot about it. Philip was the Sachem (or cheif) of the Wampanoag native American's. Son of Massasoit, the Sachem who made peice with the Pilgrims which lasted from the first Thanksgiving until King Philips war, a war whch took place exactly 100 years before the revolutionary war began .

The overwhelming bulk of the war took place in southeastern and central Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, but did spread to New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and Connecticut as well.

4. Consider checking out the Haffenreffer Museum in

Bristol RI. They've got tons of artifacts from King Phillip and his tribe. They wintered in Bristol.

The tribe from my town was one of the few that signed a treaty with the colonist. They were a matriarchy and ended up all dieing of disease. How cheerful.
