Researching the accuracy and quality of your movie
The following sites are good "starting places" to research the historical accuracy of your chosen movie. The information you find will help you focus your research around more narrowly defined topics and issues. Your next step will be to research those issues to find out what historians have said about what happened and find primary documents that support or refute what the movie says. In other words, you're tracing the trail of evidence backwards from the movie to what really happened.
