The Pleasant Valley War

We may not know exactly why, but it happened and this true story, this deadly "war" is told in a very entertaining and interesting way.

It's stunning that so many people on both sides perished in this senseless feud. Mills brings this compelling story and fascinating characters to life, infusing a feature film with documentary-style narrative with panache and expertise. The cinematography is top-notch and the music sets a somber mood reflecting the events of this inexplicable tragedy...

A true story that is such a good blend of action and narration with a superb musical score that keeps you on the edge of your seat. A piece of history few people have heard of. One of Travis Mills best works.

This movie documents a piece of Arizona history in an entertaining way that keeps the audience engaged in the historical timeline of the conflict. The directing and editing were excellent and the musical score fit the intended feel of the movie. I would recommend it to anyone interested in western history or just looking for something other than the plethora of CGI laden far-fetched action films out there.

We have all heard about the Hatfields and McCoys and the Gunfight at the OK corral. So how do we not know about the deadliest blood feud in American History?! The Pleasant Valley War lasted nearly 10 years and best estimates are that nearly 50 people perished....yet the story has come close to being lost from history.

John Marrs and Travis Mills have written and produced a film that works to rectify this oversite. Part documentary/ part drama, PVW is a powerful telling of best friends turned deadly enemies. Though complex, the story moves quickly and is easy to follow and strong acting in main roles brings the men to life.

This is a very nice addition to Travis Mills' collection of work!
