Told through a combination of documentary interviews and traditional Western scenes, The Pleasant Valley War tracks the fallout between the Grahams and Tewksburys which led to a ten year battle and cost up to fifty lives. Documentary,Western After watching this on August 27th and having a few days to reflect on the experience: The Pleasant Valley War was told as a documentary but reminded me of sitting around a social gathering of those passionate about the history of the area. The actors not only portray the events but become those larger than life characters of the wild west. The mix of the modern day world with the respect of the historical events is outstanding. Having that connection to the past being able to walk the same streets, see where those events took place and where the movie was filmed. It is an experience of stepping back into the past.
