Shenandoah was a war drama told from the perspective of a family who tried to stay neutral during the American Civil War. As a story about a family from a civilian point-of-view and how they were forced into the war despite their best efforts.
Shenandoah avoids the trap of romanticising the Southern cause like other Civil War films. It was set as the war starts to turn against the Confederacy, show that there were good guys and bad guys on both sides and that civilians suffered during the war.
It was an interesting and well made film with a classic feel.
