Reenactress

A film by J.R. Hardman

Director: J.R. Hardman

In Reenactress, female filmmaker J.R. Hardman embeds herself in the world of American Civil War reenactment by crossdressing to portray a soldier. Blending history with humor, she follows fellow reenactors defying gender norms to commemorate historical women who lived secretly as men to fight in the Civil War.
