88 Days in the Mother Lode: Mark Twain Finds His Voice (2015)
Great film, I learned so much.
Not only was I entertained by this film, I also found it educational. The producers have done a great of making Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)come to life through his own words. From letters home, stories published in newspapers and his books, Mark Twain's stay in California's Gold Country comes to life. Using actors to portray his everyday life in the cabin and especially in the hotel during a non- ending rain storm gives a new dimension to this film. I also appreciate the beautiful scenery and it was great to learn that all the scenes were filmed at the actual locations that they took place. It makes we want to travel to Jackass Hill and Angels Camp! Interviews with experts in the Mark Twain field of study round out the film. Entertaining and educational, highly recommended.
