Glory

A special documentary, The True Story Of Glory Continues, narrated by Morgan Freeman follows the film’s credits on Side 3. Included are edited scenes from the film, historic photographs, drawings and maps, and excerpts from letters and journals written by the 54th and their followers.

Historically accurate, visually invigorating, emotional and compelling, Glory is an epic masterpiece in which Denzel Washington won an Oscar® for Best Supporting Actor. The story centers on Colonel Robert Gould Shaw (Matthew Broderick) and his 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry—the first regiment to be recruited after President Lincoln opened his army to include black soldiers. This is their story of courage from the unit’s formation in 1862 to its disbandment at the war’s end.
