Welcome to the official site for the documentary film
Reenactress
Thanks to everyone who contributed to our 2023 Crowdfunding Campaign!
We met and exceeded our goal of $15,000 for post-production on the film, but we are still collecting tax-deductible donations to make the film even better, to submit Reenactress to festivals when it’s completed, and to launch an Impact Campaign to get the word out about #womenshistory!

Through the personal lens of filmmaker J.R. Hardman, Reenactress investigates the gender-bending women and transmen of American Civil War reenactment who crossdress to portray soldiers on the battlefield. These present-day reenactors commemorate historical women who lived secretly as men to fight in the Civil War for both the Confederacy and the Union.
