In this episode, you will meet JR Hardman, a documentary filmmaker, educator and Civil War reenactor, and hear about her first feature-length documentary film currently in production, Reenactress. The film tells the story of the women in the American Civil War reenactment community who portray soldiers, commemorating the women who fought in the Civil War disguised as men.

You'll also learn about a discrimination lawsuit filed against the National Park Service and hear more stories of uncommon soldiers who fought valiantly in the Civil War!
