"Glory" is about the 54th Regiment of Massachusetts in the American Civil War almost exclusively comprised of black soldiers: freed slaves who had to fight and die for their freedom. There are some historical inaccuracies in the storytelling ( inevitably!) however they don't really detract from a good plot and a fine cast of actors including Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman bring sparkle to the whole.

This film is an eye opener when you look at the treatment of men freed from slavery. They wanted to fight on Union side against the Southern States in the American Civil War. This film shows how they were treated until a young officer from a high class Union military family, asked to for the command of these soldiers. Everyone turned against, his family and the Unionist High command. He stood firm and got them proper uniforms, arms and provisions same as others in the same army. This film shows how one stood up against the establishment for his men. They then responded by becoming a highly efficient troop of soldiers. Showed they were worthy of fighting with there white counterparts.
