I am amazed at the comments from users offended at this films content. What do they think the antebellum period was like? Do those sensitive souls imagine that plantations were run according to modern corporate standards (with human resources departments!). I think debauchery and abuse were daily occurrences. Despite its directing shortcomings, Drum is an important film that illustrates willfully ignored aspects of America's sordid history. More films depictions of this sort are needed, lest we forget.
