C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America


C.S.A. The Confederate States of America is a 2004 mockumentary directed by Kevin Willmott. It is a fictional tongueincheek account of an alternate history in which the Confederates won the American Civil War, establishing a new Confederate States of America that incorporates the entire former United States of America. The film primarily details significant political and cultural events of Confederate history from its founding until the early 2000s. This viewpoint is used to satirize reallife issues and events, and to shed light on the continuing existence of discrimination in American culture. C.S.A was released on DVD on August 8, 2006.

The movie is presented as if it were a British documentary being broadcast on Confederate network television, and included fictional commercials between segments of the documentary. It opens with a fictional disclaimer that suggests that censorship came close to preventing the broadcast, that its point of view might not coincide with that of the TV network, and that it might not be suitable for viewing by children and servants. It purports to disagree with an orthodox Confederate interpretation of American history.It portrays two historians Sherman Hoyle, a conservative Southerner, and Patricia Johnson, a black Canadian, as talking heads, providing commentary. Throughout the documentary, Confederate politician and Democratic presidential candidate, John Ambrose Fauntroy V the greatgrandson of one of the men who helped to create the CSA, is interviewed. Narration explains faux historical newsreel footage, which is either acted for the production, or made of genuine footage dubbed with fictional narration. ........
