Gettysburg "Fields Of Freedom" (2006) - Complete Pickett's Charge film

Published 2023-07-02
This movie provides a 30-minute introduction to the Battle of Gettysburg's climatic action (the repulse of Pickett's Charge), told from the perspective of the soldiers who fought the battle. It was filmed on a farm in western Maryland, and there are no stars or even familiar faces among the actors.

"Fields of Freedom," was produced for the Gateway Center in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, debuting on a newly constructed, nearly IMAX sized screen for visitors to the historic Gettysburg National Military Park in March of 2006. While a film of several hours would be necessary to cover the many excruciating days of the entire battle, the thirty minutes of Fields of Freedom concentrates on the experiences of two specific soldiers involved on each side of Pickett's Charge, arguably the most disastrous climax of the battle. The technical aspects of the production high with considerable attention given to the visual and aural effects for the explosive battle scenes. No expense was spared with the score by master Trevor Jones either.

Directed by David de Vries and Produced by Seth Eisler. For education, entertainment, enlightenment and inspiration. We hope you enjoy and even learn something. Never forget!

    My great grandfather was there,, pvt James R. Henderson, C Co, 11th GA Infantry. He survived the battle.
  • I really liked the actor that played Armistead. It would have been incredibly easy to mimic or copy what Richard Jordan did, but he made the performance his own. Plus, he actually looks a lot like the real guy. Massive props.
  • @jason60chev
    In the opening scene, no one has fixed bayonets. Bayonets are fixed when they form up.
  • Better than the movie. Imagine if they had a huge budget, this would have been right up there with "Glory."
  • @Tomatohater64
    Superb 30-minute overview of the battle and quite realistic. To see the battlefield afterward undoubtedly stripped every last ounce of ego and pride out of the surviving combatants and filled them with humility beyond human comprehension. 50-53,000 American men dead and injured in just 3 days of battle.
  • @bl18ce99
    I would put this scene up against the Omaha Beach scene in "Saving Private Ryan", as one of the greatest battle scenes in war movie history. BRAVO. !
  • It is a sad thing that we as Americans hated and waged war on fellow Americans over political differences. It is sadder still that we have learned nothing.
  • @khankrum1
    Very emotive. But let's not forget who started this, and why!
  • @jason60chev
    I was in 125th and 135th Gettysburg events.
  • My first time veiwing this watched gettysburg n gods n generals but this is above them👍
  • @krismurphy7711
    Robert E Lee had a short-term memory. Now, HE was the attacker at "Fredricksburg"
  • Excellent!! Wonderful to see this again!! Hope to see Manassas: End of Innocence again soon.
  • @marcstenssen1308

  • @TheSonicdruid72
    Mate! I’m so looking forward to this! Cheers from Australia
  • @brucesmith1392
    Very good production. Surprisingly authentic and professional production.
  • @snyderemarx1638
    Worst mistake Lee ever made. Longstreet was right, move around the Federals and set up a defensive position between the Federals and Washington.
  • I was surprised not to see any reference at all to Lieutenant General James Longstreet. I believe he had a very historically significant part in this assault known as Pickett's Charge.
