Culloden

The year before he made "The War Game" which dealt with the effects of the nuclear holocaust, Peter Watkins also made a rather interesting film titled "Culloden," a narrative about the famous 18th century battle between the Scottish Jacobites and the English army.  1745 I believe.

What makes this film particularly interesting is how the film was framed as a sequence of live  news reports, and a documentary being made while the battle was taking place.  

I only ask of those who may have seen the film, whether it's depiction of what is described as one of the most "mismanaged" battles in British military history is accurate.
