Don’t bother watching the movie, “Donner Party.” It’s very creepy and unrealistic. Not....not that I’ve had any personal experience in the matter. (Looks over shoulder.) The movie just seemed...um...wasteful. lol
If you are talking about the PBS/Ric Burns film I beg to differ...I think it’s one of the best historical documentaries I’ve ever seen.
Try watching RAVENOUS with Robert Carlyle (before The Full Monty), Neal mcDonough (The Catholic actor recently ousted from Desperate Housewives), Jeremy Davies (Daniel from Lost’) and Guy Pearce (Count of MonTecristo, LA cONFIDENTIAL)...
about a govt soldier who investigates a base camp that resorted to cannibalism right after the Civil War but there’s a twist...
