Sex & Nudity

  • Several prisoners are shown bathing nude in a sewage-infested creek. We see their buttocks from a distance, but nothing more than that.

Violence & Gore

  • A prisoner is shot and killed while attempting to pay a guard for a little food.
  • A man is clubbed and then stabbed in the head with a large knife.
  • A man receives a pair of knife wounds on his face as punishment.
  • A rogue gang beats and even kills new prisoners before robbing them.
  • A large brawl breaks out amongst the prisoners, which leaves many men badly beaten and some dead.
  • Six prisoners are executed by hanging.
  • In more than one scene, many dead bodies are arranged on the ground prior to burial.

Profanity

  • Several uses of "SOB" and "bastard".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Some soldiers smoke cigars and pipes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The film depicts the widespread horrors of starvation/malnutrition and disease that occurred in the prison.
  • A man is ravaged by the effects of scurvy and slowly dies from it.
  • The entire movie is emotionally intense and unsettling. However, the depicted atrocities of Andersonville are not intense as "Shindler's List" or "12 Years a Slave".
