In the new 2021 high-definition program, learn all about the Battle of the Alamo between Texans and the Mexican government, the events that led up to it, the individuals involved, and the controversy surrounding what was history versus myth. The program teaches the viewer that history is often told by the victors and encourages a more critical assessment of who is telling the history, whether it is credible, and how the events may have been recorded differently in history books if the other side had won. Detailed graphics, diagrams, and exciting videos reinforce important concepts.
