This is the story of Andersonville, the notorious Georgia prison where 50,000 Northern soldiers suffered and lcose to 14,000 died-and the stories of the people whose lives were changed by the grim camp that was erected in their midst. The guilt and greatness of both the Union and the Confederacy are in these pages, in the savagery of the dcamp commandant, the deep compassion of a nearby planter and his gentle daughter, in the merging of valor and viciousness within the stockade itself.
From the horror screenplay by Denise A. Agnew and Marie D. Jones and based on actual research from historical documents .
