Saints and Soldiers: The Void in theaters August 15th
Germany, May 1945, the twilight of WWII. On a final mission deep in the Harz mountains a U.S. tank crew discovers a platoon of Germans, including three infamous Panzer tanks, preparing to ambush allied supply trucks.
Before the war, private Jesse Owens, was a
product of segregation and racial discrimination. Forced by law to ride
in the back of the bus and disenfranchised from the political process.
Now, Owens fights the greatest tyrant in history,
knowing the tyranny of racism will be waiting for him back home if he
can survive the war.
With a deadly game of cat and mouse quickly
unfolding, Owens and his predominantly white tank crew find themselves
out-gunned and out-manned by the German Panzer tanks. Several in Owens’
crew are reluctant to put their faith in a black
tank driver despite their dire circumstances. As the German tanks bear
down on his unit, Owens has to fight for freedom on two fronts. With
tension and fear beginning to manifest Owens knows they must put aside
their differences to stop the enemy from their
deadly plan. Knowing that a victory over the Nazis means a victory for
racial justice, Owens and his men find a way to work together to save
hundreds of lives in a desperate battle against the greatest odds they
have ever faced.
"As
we approach the 70th anniversary of D-Day, we pause to honor those who
demonstrated unselfishness and commitment to freedom. The tradition of
unselfishness continues
today. God Bless those then and now who serve our country."

"During
the original SAINTS AND SOLDIERS film festival run around the world we
were honored to meet many WWII Veterans in person. It has been 10 years
now. Many of those
Veterans have passed. For those WWII vets remaining and all men and
women of the armed forces since we salute you. The SAINTS AND SOLDIERS
movies are intend to honor you."
~ Ryan Little, Director
"Our
reason for making SAINTS AND SOLDIERS: THE VOID was to explore the
story of those African American soldiers who fought for freedoms abroad
they didn't entirely enjoy
at home. We learned from their stories freedom is and was worth the
fight...regardless of race."
