I remember watching a documentary on the History Channel about John Wilkes Booth and became extremely fascinated by the segment describing a female co-conspirator that aided Booth and the others during that historic day. I had no idea a film had already been circling the festival circuit. The Conspirator was released nationwide on April 15 chronicling Mary Surratt’s involvement in the assassination of President Lincoln. She was a die-hard Confederate loyalist. If I recall correctly, her house served as one of the getaway destinations for Booth and Herald as they fled the district. Watch the trailer. If you’re not a history junkie like moi and have no interest, you’ll at least get to see glimpses of a 19th century-Washington D.C.
