Saints and Soldiers: The Void

by

If you haven’t seen the movie Saints and Soldiers it is definitely a must see! I remember watching it a few years ago and being amazed at the dramatic, intense and heroic WWII film.  I just recently saw Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed which tells the action-packed story of three World War II U.S. Army paratroopers, fighting desperately to fulfill their mission against seemingly insurmountable odds.  I have learned a lot this month is my studying about WWII.  Growing up I never realized both sides and how so many didn’t want to fight but were forced to fight for the Germans.  That they were good people, forced by their country to fight.  It is amazing to me how God works through people to fulfill his plan on this earth.
Right now you can get the 2 box DVD set of Saints and Soldiers and Airborne Creed here at Deseret Book for only $9.99

 
Get excited though to see this new movie many are talking about called The Void! Coming up on August 15th, Saints and Soldiers: The Void will be coming to theaters near you {in Utah} Sorry for those that don’t live in Utah, but you will have the opportunity to purchase this movie when it come out! Check out here to see if it is playing at a theater near you.
I get to go see the show on the 5th, so I’ll let you know what I think of it!  Here is a little about the movie and a short trailer.


Movie Plot: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, Sergeant 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. As the Germans bear down on the Americans, Owens fights the Axis powers for a freedom he and his fellow African American soldiers have never felt.
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. 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.
