Folklore becomes fact in the one-hour Blood Memory: The Legend of Beanie Short. In it, director Robby Henson questions the reputations of an American outlaw who terrorized the South during the Civil War. Beanie Short was a Confederate deserter turned raider. Stories of his deeds are legendary yet have only survived through a rich oral tradition. Historian Dr. William Montell traveled to Kentucky to find the truth within the stories in order to complete a picture of this wayward robber. His discoveries tell much about Beanie Short and the nature of selective memory. ~ Sarah Ing, Rovi
