Love, Courage and the Battle of Bushy Run

2024 · 113 min · ★ 8.3 · History, Action, War

In 1763, Britain defeated France in the worldwide Seven Years War - referred to in the American Colonies as The French and Indian War. As a result, the French abandoned America, leaving the Native population who had sided with the French to fear the British would seek revenge. Ottawa Chief Pontiac convinced many tribes they needed to strike first. Some did so willingly, others were forced to fight. Their ultimate target was Fort Pitt. The combatants on both sides deployed unconventional and often brutal strategies and tactics. Colonel Henry Bouquet, with a ragtag group of British soldiers, Scottish Highlanders and American volunteers, was tasked with trying to save the hundreds of men, women and children facing certain death - or worse - in Fort Pitt. The little-known Battle of Bushy Run changed the course of world history... This is that story.

'Til Death Do Us Part

SeriesMysteryDrama

'Til Death Do Us Part is murder-mystery based on a reality history. As dark and irreverent a series as would be expected with cult movie writer/director John Waters hosting. Waters is the "Groom Reaper", a guest at the happy couple's wedding. The marriage starts out well enough, but goes very wrong along the way. Perhaps the most unusual twist for this series is that you don't know which of the couple is the one murdered, until the end.
