Before this film, I actually didn't know that Meriwether Lewis had died under mysterious circumstances. I knew the story of the Lewis and Clark expedition, but nothing else. Clearly I had a lot to learn and the film does an amazing job of telling the history and bringing the characters and the time period to life. Several different possibilities for how Meriwether died are explored and one of the things I found interesting was that Meriwether remains a very relatable character in all the versions. Also, every possibility given seems completely believable.
And finally, the film is really beautiful in terms of cinematography and musical score. I enjoyed it tremendously.
