Just whistling Dixie

CSA: Confederate States of America

(2005)
A terrifically promising start as a Ken Burns-style counterfactual documentary based on the premise of the other side's having won the War Between the--er, rather, the War of Northern Aggression. Unfortunately, the 90-minute film has only about 15 excellent minutes, plus a lot of painfully obvious commercials, news spots, and politically commentary. Worth a look for the concept, but ultimately a member of the I Wanted to Like It More Than I Did club.
