The overall accuracy of the movie Glory The movie Glory directed by Edward Zwick, depicts the tale of the 54th Massachusetts, which was the first all black regiment to ever serve in the Civil War.

Some of the inaccuracies found in the movie where minor and probably due to lighting issues, others however are major and temper with the actual story of the 54th Massachusetts regiment.
