Civil War Movie Being Filmed At Stagville Plantation

From the June 15, 2014, WNCN (NC)  "Civil War movie being filmed at historic Stagville plantation" by Shumvriet Ratliff.

North Carolina is well-known as the site for many movie locations.  Now, there is one more film being shot in the Triangle area.

Uptone Pictures is filming "Union Bound" based on a diary written by Joseph Hooker, a Union soldier who escaped from prison in the South.

Some of the location shots have been filmed at Durham's Stagville Plantation.

At one time, the plantation consisted of over 3000 acres and had more than 900 slaves according to the 1860 census.

Other movie locales were shot in Edenton.
