How close to the truth is the A&E movie of The Crossing starring Jeff Daniels as Washington?

0

Regarding the difficulties of the Crossing, the spirit of the event and the accessibility of the experience for viewers, we certainly applaud the movie’s efforts. However, anytime movies are made of historic events, interpretation and artistic license are involved. This movie was based on a book by Howard Fast entitled, “The Crossing.” Some of the information is not supported or confirmed by modern research. The role of Alexander Hamilton is definitely disputable in the movie and does not match up with accepted fact. Some of the other character interpretations are also suspect. The movie was not filmed on site nor did it use the site’s Durham boats.
