Deliverance Creek is a 2014 American Civil War drama film directed by Jon Amiel and written by Melissa Carter.

[1][4] For the film, Carter won the Writers Guild of America Award in 2015 for Outstanding Script, in the "Original Long form" category.

[5] Set two years after the commencement of the American Civil War, it is loosely centered around events connected to Belle Gaitlin Barlow (Lauren Ambrose).

Belle lives in Deliverance Creek with her children, trying to maintain the farm, as her husband Harlan left to fight in the war and is presumed dead.

When he returns home, he complains about their run-in and his wife Cordelia (Katherine Willis) notices the slap mark on his face.

Returning home from town, Belle finds her brother Jasper (Christopher Backus) and other Union army deserters.

Ben (Joel Johnstone) stands watch in the safe overnight, while four of the desserters are snuck into the funeral home next door to the bank, in pine boxes under the guise of a family that perished from smallpox.
