Truth IS Better Than Fiction
This is wonderful documentary about the real lives of the Hatfields and McCoys. The TV movie was great; but, the facts clear up a few "Hollywood" mistakes. Anyone interested in the truth about these two feuding families should get this dvd.

It was interesting as supporting information for the movie, The Hatfields and the McCoys. The story of the Hatfields and the McCoys is of interest because it takes place partly in West Virginia where I currently live.

Hatfields and Mccoys: an american feud
was puzzled when I received it as the picture on disk cover was much different than the one shown on site. It is pretty much pretty basic info and if you have done any research on the Hatfields and Mccoys this is pretty well know already.

so informative!
My grandmother was told growing up that she is kin to these Hatfields, so this movie adds a great deal of information that is useful when trying to connect the dots for us.

Out of many stories of these families, I picked this..
Not bad, but a lot of repetition.. like in the TV shows. We met one of the family members (tiny fire cracker lady) and have been fascinated of the family tale ever since.. tells the story, even if it still is a bit blurry..

OK, but kind of a waste of money
Not a good as the Kevin Costner mini-series. Not even close

FOR HISTORY LOVERS
The Hatfields and McCoys are little known outside of the US, but I kept coming accross their names. This was down to earth and informative.
