Welcome to the Galafilm War of 1812 website!

Produced as a companion to our four part documentary film production on the 1812 conflict, which was directed by Brian McKenna, this site is intended for students, teachers and anybody interested in this fascinating period of North American history.


You can discover what happened and who was involved by reading the people and stories, events and locations or background and ideas sections. To help you visualize the stories we’ve compiled a wide variety of paintings, original maps and first hand accounts. Then, get to the heart of the conflict by reading the arguments presented by the historians we interviewed, hearing sound clips from the film, and testing your knowledge by playing our interactive quiz. For an overview on the War of 1812 and why it started, we suggest you begin with the Introduction section.
