Mysterious Circumstance: The Death of Meriwether Lewis is a historical drama film released in 2020. The movie was directed by Chris Folkens and written by Steve Oster and Andrew R. Chow.
The story follows Alexander Wilson, a Scottish ornithologist who is searching for the truth about the death of his friend Meriwether Lewis, the famous American explorer who died in 1809. Wilson travels to a remote wilderness inn, where Lewis was said to have spent his final night alive, to interview the only witness to the event.
As Wilson converses with the witness, they begin to imagine different scenarios that could have led to Lewis's death. Was it suicide, murder, or an accident? The film explores these different theories through flashbacks and re-enactments, as Wilson and the witness try to uncover the truth.
The film is set against the backdrop of the early years of the United States, as the country was still expanding westward and exploring new territories. Mysterious Circumstance offers a glimpse into the lives of the men who made these expeditions, and the dangers they faced along the way.
The cast includes actors like Sean Patrick Thomas, Barry Corbin, and Jason Alan Smith. The movie was well-received by critics and audiences alike, praised for its intriguing subject matter and strong performances.
