There have been several films throughout the years that have portrayed that era in history
known as ‘Pontiac’s War’ – 1763 to 1764, all with ‘questionable’ accuracy – it is Hollywood after

Join us for a fun and lighthearted look at how Hollywood has portrayed Pontiac’s War and the
Battle of Bushy Run through the years. With plenty of discussion, film clips and background
information.
We will examine the following films:
• Unconquered (1947)
• Battles of Chief Pontiac (1952)
• A Light in the Forest (Disney TV 1958)
• Love, Courage and the Battle of Bushy Run (2024)
Prior viewing is not necessary, and we will even provide the popcorn, but you’ll need to bring
your own candy!
