April Morning (1988)
Based on the actual events at the Battle of Lexington/Concord as seen through the eyes of a 15 yr old boy who becomes a man

While the movie takes some liberties with actual historical events, the over arching story is real history. I thought that this version of the battle was even-handed. It did not demonize the British or the colonists.
While there were times I caught myself saying to the main character "oh grow up" I would quickly realize that his reactions were very human and realistic to his age and experiences. I thought his and the supporting cast performances were very believable. This movie asks us the audience to grapple with the same difficult questions that the characters face: fear, courage, just-war, the right to kill another human being.
