Mary Surratt:  Mystery Woman of the Lincoln Assassination

 
On July 7, 1865, Maryland widow Mary Surratt was hanged for conspiring with John Wilkes Booth to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln -  but historians still debate her guilt or innocence. Did Booth's notorious charms lure the mother of three into his deadly plot? Or was she the victim of a government witch hunt - an innocent woman fallen prey to a grieving nation's thirst for revenge?

This fact-based documentary lets you decide, and features interviews with historians and Lincoln assassination experts, a visit to Mary Surratt's home and tavern, and authentic Civil War music performed by the Prairie County Avengers.

Mary Surratt: Mystery Woman of the Lincoln Assassination, was an Official Selection of the 2007 International Women's Film Festival in Miami, Florida and of Greenbelt, Maryland's 2006 Utopia Film Festival.
