A grim straight historical about Oliver Cromwell's campaigns in Ireland. So that's not going to be controversial, then. It probably helps to have some idea of the real-word background to this, but it's not essential, focussing more on the human level, and being in the style of, say, The Massacre. The challenge is as much to simply make it out alive as to actually change or improve anything, but if you don't mind the grimness, it's quite well made, and Cromwell is suitably complex.
