"A Rebel Born" follows the life of Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was a brilliant and very controversial Confederate general in the War Between the States. Even now, more than 150 years after the end of the war, Forrest has remained surrounded in controversy.
This follows the true life story of American patriot and Southern hero Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate general in the War for Southern Independence, and considered by many to be the world's greatest cavalry leader. This historically accurate film portrays Forrest realistically (debunking many of the myths surrounding him), while providing the South's view of the War, making it the only movie of its kind.—Lochlainn Seabrook, the screenwriter
