A moral tale. Lieutenant Rizzo has arrived in North Africa at the start of the US Army's first battle against the German Africa Corps. As a combat camera man, he is ordered to get shots of the troops preparing for battle. Disobeying orders he hitches a ride to the front and learns about the harsh realities of war. Written by David Presley
Good use of film stocks and color. Film maker used a skip bleach processes to make inter-cutting between black and white and color film and it worked well. Story is good. Don't want to ruin the ending, but it's creative and very telling for our current world situation. Great use of limited resources available to independent filmmakers. Where did he get World War Two era tanks??? Thought the B/W footage was authentic period film but looked closely and it was shot during photography, fooled me. Casting was great, performances good. I almost wish there was more but the pacing seems right. The film won several festivals and makes me wonder what else has Presley done?
