In this episode of the History Slam, Sean Graham talks with writer/director Richard Bell about his new film Brotherhood, which tells the true story of a group of young men in 1926 who were attending a camp along the shores of Balsam Lake in Ontario when they were caught on the lake in the midst of a major storm. They talk about his research into the story, masculinity in 2019, and the First World War’s role in the story. They also talk about the challenges of shooting on location, taking artistic liberty with historical events, and writing dialogue for real people who left no record.
