Summaries

During World War 2, a young lad's called up and, with increasing sense of foreboding, undertakes his army training for D-day.

Upon hearing that he's been called up for duty, young Tom Beddows (Brian Stirner) enters army training and prepares to participate in one of World War II's biggest battles: the D-Day invasion. Director Stuart Cooper's thought-provoking drama - a meditation on one man's minuteness relative to the vastness of global conflict - seamlessly integrates authentic archival footage thanks to the expert skills of cinematographer John Alcott.—ETO History Buff
