This film is a cleverly produced recounting of the Battle of Brooklyn in 1776. The presentation calls upon the viewer's knowledge of history (or lack thereof) to be mixed with equal parts imagination and curiosity. The narrator appears in period costume and intersperses scenes featuring re-enactors, present-day denizens, and set pieces, all to great effect. History indeed comes alive once again. Hail to the brave and nearly forgotten four hundred!
