Description

In early 1836 a small group of volunteer soldiers in Texas withstood a 13-day siege by a large Mexican Army force. Inside an old Spanish mission called the Alamo the outnumbered Texans resisted fiercely until the Mexicans finally stormed the structure wiping them out. Through vivid narrative follow the experiences of people on both sides of the Alamo's walls as they clashed in what became an iconic moment in history.
