As I was doing research this weekend, I discovered (or, I should say, rediscovered) this movie. It's called The Conspirator, and came out just before Lincoln did. It covers the trial of Mary Surratt, from the point of view of her lawyer, Frederick Aiken. I haven't seen this since it was released, but from what I remember, it was a really well done film. I plan to watch it again at some point, either during my research or after this semester, to see how much of the trial they actually got right. The video above is for the trailer. You can watch the film through Netflix, Amazon Prime, or on DVD.
