An action-packed historic documentary, The Unsexing of Emma Edmonds is the true story of a nineteenth century Canadian girl who disguises herself as a man to run away from home and escape an approaching arranged marriage. From the heart of an untamed wilderness to the midst of the most passionate of wars, the film follows the adventures and ordeals of Emma Edmonds as herself and in disguise as Franklin Thompson, travelling Bible salesman and Private in the Union Army during the American Civil War. The early years that shaped Emma Edmonds and her two years as a Civil War nurse, courier and spy come to life through visually stunning footage shot on location in Edmonds Canadian homeland and at actual Civil War sites in Virginia. Highly intimate in its approach and using the heroine's own words, interviews with family and exciting new research for the first time this extraordinary woman's story is brought to the screen.
