A Profile of Courage Left for Dead is a documentary about an Ohio schoolteacher, born and raised in Newcastle, Pennsylvania, who forms a company, fights in some of the deadliest battles of the Civil War, gets shot through the face and is left for dead at the Battle of Corinth, Mississippi. He recovers to build a successful life, courageously overcoming lingering effects of the bullet still lodged in his head. "In making Left for Dead, we wanted to tell the heroic story of a young man’s courage and character," explained Mark Bussler, the director. "At an age where today’s young men are still in school, this man formed a military unit and fought in many of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War." Battle sequences were recreated from Oscar Jackson’s diary entries in his book, "The Colonel’s Diary". One powerful scene in the production occurs when Jackson describes in his own words, "Looking for the dead on the battlefield was similar to hunting for strawberries in a meadow." |
